Summary

This quote suggests that friendship, similar to philosophy and art, might not have a practical purpose for our survival. However, it emphasizes that friendship is essential in giving meaning and worth to our lives. It implies that while friendships may not be essential for basic survival needs, they contribute immensely to our overall well-being, happiness, and fulfillment. Friendship is therefore regarded as a vital aspect of human existence, even if it does not directly fulfill our survival needs.
