Tremendous issue ! The link that does exist between human beings has always been a mystery. Of course LOVE is the most incredible feeling, but friendship is also very intriguing. Why are we friends?

I remember from my studet years that Rousseau presupposed that human beings were different from animals because they were able to take pity of each other. It was more an ability to develop friednship or love feeling than the first unity of human relationship.That was interesting, but that is not my point here.

My issue here is : when you want to built a community do you need friendship? In fact, I do not think so. I think a group of people that wants to do something together. They find a process make this thing happen…and during that process sometimes they become friends.

I think we make friends simply doing something together! Sharing a piece of life, doing somthing together build friendship. May that is why events are that important on facebook.

That means to build a great community, it is important that the community share, do something real.

The first step of any community is to know what we will do together and if we all agree, we get on well to make it happen and then the friendship begins…

So friendship would begin by doing things together.

PS : That is why facebook, stock reanimate, facilitate friendship but do not make it happen. I made an experience last week trying to add friends randomly. Nobody accepted me. They were right to do so we had never done somthing together. The Rousseau’s pity theory is not enough to make friends.
