Alle har brug for gode venner, for uden dem mister vi kontakt med det at have betydning. Først når vi betyder noget for andre, forstår vi, hvorfor vi er her. Vi har brug for, at nogen har brug for os.Men har du nogensinde overvejet, hvordan venskab opstår, og hvordan man skaber gode venskaber? Venskab er alt andet end tilfældigt. Venskab er valg. Vi viser nogen, at vi vil dem, og vi bliver ved med at gøre det. Det sker ikke af sig selv – det har det aldrig gjort.Frederik Svinth har holdt foredrag om venskab og ensomhed i mere end 10 år, og han har udviklet et sprog for venskabet, som gør det til noget, vi kan arbejde med, noget vi bevidst kan bruge, som kan blive et værn mod den ensomhed, som mange går og kæmper med.Venner for livet handler ikke om, at vi skal have de samme venner hele livet, men at vi skal have venner gennem livet, fordi venner er gode for livet.
