Safe Relationship

Whatever it is due to, maybe moving too often and not having time to establish friendships, or maybe being so busy with one’s own life that you don’t have time to cultivate a decent caring friendship, we just don’t have good friends any longer....

We can come home after a long tiring day, sit back with a cold one, turn on the TV and the consistent safe relationship we have with a few characters fills our need for relationships.

We laugh at their familiar mistakes and stories and they treat us like old friends by coming back tomorrow at the same time.

Besides, it’s easier to do that than to work at being a real friend, because sometimes being a real friend is just hard work.
