Friendship.

One of the most essential values for human beings is the ability to form and maintain friendships. However, not everyone can uphold this value to the high standard that friendship itself demands. There are many ways to end a friendship, and also the possibility of rebuilding it; however, some friendships are broken beyond repair. According to Ben Sira’s perspective, these friendships have ended due to betrayal, the discovery of secrets, and arrogance (22). The most healthy approach is to know how to make good friends and stay loyal to them. Ben Sirach suggests befriending the poor because if they succeed, they will be a great support to us, and also showing solidarity with the sad and troubled, being with a friend in their misfortune. It is difficult to doubt such a friend.
