Open Mindful to Friends?

Do we as individuals, really need friends in our lives? What roles do friends, and other people play in one's life and society? Is having multiple and groups of friends a stage? Are friends a valuable commodity and requirement for a fulfilling life? Could we be happy and enjoy life without friends?
For example clients, unlike friends can help you create money, wealth and provide for your life, family and well being. Friends usually don't bring money into your life. Actually, having friends means spending more money on numerous, fun, friendly activities. Are clients more important than friends? When your a child growing up in school, friends seems to have a more vital role. The more friends a kid has in elementary, middle, high school and college helps their popularity, personality, image and overall social life. Yet, as we age, and gravitate towards jobs, professions, careers, wife, girlfriend, family and more, do friends still claim relevance? How important should friends be in adulthood? Is there a "Magic Number" of friends to have? For example 3, 5, 10, 25? In my personal opinion, I enjoy having friends, yet also enjoy being a "lone ranger" throughout life as well. With TV, Sports, Exercise, Movies, Entertainment, Restaurants and all, it is actually quite easy to enjoy a day cruised solo as well. . My opinion and views on friendship, is that friendship IS important, valuable and endearing. Yet confident, single citizen life is positive and welcoming too. Always remember, you as an individual are the BOSS, and not to offset or gauge your worth on the wavering opinions of others. Just do You, and the leaves will fall in to place. Let's remain OPEN MINDFUL to the variety of roles in friendship.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
