A Chinese phrase says it best: "Its difficult to find even 1 best friend in all our lives"
I agree with this phrase a lot since, as human, living in isolation is really not part of our normal characteristics. Majority of us need to be encouraged, be supported, be needed, and be heard in order to feel the need of existence.
Similar to Tom Hank's movie, "Cast Away", where he was going insane on an isolated island until the day he met Wilson(a Volleyball):
From then on, Wilson had became his best friend for many years where he would do everything with, argue on things, and share with him on absolutely everything.
Why this topic hits me was due to someone being close to me feeling that they have absolutely noone that they can rely on or trust other than their spouse in this "foreign" country. I am unsure how i can help them or change their mindset but i can only pray for them. Hoping that God will be able to comfort them and slowly change that mindset, and if God allows, please also grant them a true trustworthy best friend so they can walk together.
As for me, I guess i am already used to being alone due to the nature of my career. I am satisfied with just having good friends instead of "best" friends.
Below is one of my most emotional clip from Cast Away:
