What Real Friendship Is

In this YouTube video, we can see how various God-created animals of different species value and save each other under seemingly overwhelming circumstances.

After looking at the above 8+ minute video, the following are this writer's observations:

1) Animals value life -- see here and here (do humans? See here and here).

2) Animals of different species save other species (they demonstrate care and concern for others (see here and here), i.e., God's agape love -- see herehere and here). They demonstrate what real friendship is all about.

3) Animals protect, defend and take care of their own (do humans? -- see here and here).

4) Animals are for the most part gregarious creatures, i.e., human interaction  (no social distancing or sheltering in place for them, i.e., no solitary confinement in their homes).

As the above title states, "What real friendship is" cannot be found on Facebook (or any other social media - see here). Real friendship is slowly developed over a period of years through trust in our fellow man, i.e., when we as God-created human beings are willing to (1) lay aside all differences, (2) come to the table as a family, and (3) allow iron to sharpen iron.

And yes beloved, we are people who need people (see YouTube video).
