All relationships are spatial.

Yes, in case you have not noticed yet, relationships do take up space - literally and figuratively. They take up space in the heart, in our daily schedules, in our minds, in our vision, on the pavement we walk on, in the inbox, in our memory, in that little small box in our room. I have always been that kind of person who knows which friends to keep close to heart and who are the ones that i should not really be bothered with. Yeah, i know that came out rather mean but well, i can't really afford to waste any space right

So when Dr Bernard mentioned that in moving from level to level, we got to constantly look at the relationships in our intimate sphere, conclude if they are still or ever an influence in/on our life to ensure relational renewal in a bid to achieve longevity, it serves as a timely reminder. With an introspective eye on my life, I am thankful for the people i have in my intimate sphere.

No. Make that very, very appreciative.

I never needed smart or rich friends.
Just people who care.
