Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most? When he’s done good and made things easy for everybody? That ain’t the time at all. It’s when he’s at his lowest……and he can’t believe in himself because the world’s whipped him so! Lorraine Hansberry
About This Quote

Children are taught that friends should always be there for one another. However, they are also taught that friends should always be there for one another. The idea of it working the other way around is often considered to be backwards, immoral, or even bad behavior. Although it may seem like this is not something to do with children, the truth is that many of the most important relationships in our lives began as friendships.

When you are at your lowest point in life, you may need a friend to talk to who understands everything about you and cares about what you’re going through. Certainly, there are times when friends should not be “at their lowest” and need their support. However, friendship can exist when both parties are at their lowest points.

It helps to understand one another and simply listen to each other and support each other.
