什麼是友誼？什麼是社交？中年階段，細細思量，感覺更為澄清明瞭。
友誼是發自內心的，是由內而外愛的流動，無論外在的風雨，無論內在的起伏，友誼都是真心真意的付出和表達；而社交呢，則是由外而內的，是應付來自來自外在的壓迫或需求，因而強調技巧，是表象的社會互動功能。
為了工作，為了生活，我們當然需要社交，但為了自我價值，為了歸屬感，我們更需要友誼。
年過中年，益加體會擁有真正友誼的重要，這樣的友誼，是清心的，是純淨的，是幸運的，是陪伴的，也是一輩子的。
Dionne Warwick的唱功，多年來葛萊美獎已經給予肯定多次了，這首歌的詮釋，加上 Elton John、Stevie Wonder、Gladys Knight的合作加持，真的是『友誼』的最佳代言，尤其是Stevie Wonder的口琴前奏和間奏，更是畫龍點睛啊！歌詞『For good times and bad times. I'll be on your side forever more 』寫得真好，深得我心。
That's What Friends Are For
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
