Purpose of friendship

Do your personal relationships help you to move towards your goals in life?

Yet, how much of your time with friends is meant for your benefit, and when is it for the other person's advantage?

‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ - Mark 12:31 (ESV)

At the heart of The Banshees of Inisherin is a depiction of the need for friends. On one side is the irritation of these relationships and how we need to look beyond our own needs. On the other hand, we can see the value of friendship within the dullness of life and how someone’s presence is as significant as their words.

Humans are designed for community and friendship. Each of these needs work and commitment that forgives selfishness and pride, while seeking a richer connection with those we love.

Who do you need to reconcile with today?
