Sets of companions in a tourist area

We all need our family and friends!  If we do not have social acceptance in realms of activity which are important to us, or it appears to us that we do not,  we will suffer, sometimes enormously.  This is why bullying can be so bad to anybody.  Furthermore, it is probably the reason that people who are first jailed are often put on suicide watch.  It is very likely a reason that excommunication from the church was (is) a very severe punishment,  and may be the stuff of the “furies” of ancient Greek literature.

This is a  fun description of early childhood companionship by A. A. Milne, from his book, “Now We Are Six” ( Copyright renewed in 1955 by A. A. Milne).
