Having large group of friends that are authentic is best. The more good friends we have, the better the fun, the better the ideas, the bigger the relief from isolation and selfish acts.
Large group of friendship makes up for a world so quiet where friendship and social gathering is so limited.

Large group of friends bring in warmth and while we sometimes like our space in life, it should not be a problem. Friends that are friends will respect each others privacy because they would sometimes have to go out and get busy, get work done, go shopping, visiting, travelling and do other things.

Large group of friends come together in times of ceremonies especially weddings, naming ceremonies, parties and celebrations in general. Friends bring harmony and they bring happiness, they make you feel like you are special, that you matter and you can find a friend whenever you want to.

Friends come together and listen to each other's highs and lows so no one is left out. This is because they are genuine and so the friendship can last. There is no need to be frightened of large friendship. It is in fact healthy to have a large group of friends that care a lot about each other.

Work is done faster especially in business territories. When you need work or want something, you have lots of friends and contacts. Business is entwined with happiness and friendship. Giving in friendship is important and taking just as critical.

Large group of friends meet up when they can and learn the culture, learn the etiquette and make vital decisions in the group and for the group. Large groups work with honesty and integrity. It exposes each other to the vulnerability, strength and capability that each friend in the group has and it is respected very much.

A large group is therefore a good idea when all in the group believe in each other and can resolve any problem slowly, honestly and steadily. It is hard to have one friend but having a large group of trusted friends is remarkably fulfilling because you take the time to learn about each other, taking time to do things together and find time and space for one's own immediate family too.

Building a club house for the friends is a good start, having a theater inside, an internet section, a restaurant and lots of sports areas is quite unique. Friends teach each other various sports and then you find that each friend is important because they bring to the group something new every time! Friends play games such as scrabbles, play squash, tennis, play and gossip together and you know that no one else will be hearing of their little secrets.
