Fellowship of the Ring, Narnia, Oz: What kinda community are you part of?

Who has those real conversations with you?
Who loves you enough to tell you what you need to hear over what you want to hear? Companionship is vital to surviving and thriving in this crazy world.

Got friends? Got friends who'll last?
If so, show them your gratitude today. They are your lifeline in all things of value.
If not, seek to be a friend. There are others out there who are on their own.
Celebrate your differences, if those are the most obvious thing, but choose friendship.
Frodo will need his friends. And you will need yours. You must cling to those you have, you must search far and wide for those you do not yet have. You must not go alone. From the beginning, right there in Eden, the Enemy’s strategy has relied upon a simple aim: Divide and conquer. Get them isolated, and take them out.

Dorothy takes her journey with the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Lion, and of course, Toto. Prince Caspian is joined by the last few faithful Narnians, and together they overthrow the wicked king Miraz. . . . . and of course, Jesus had the Twelve.
from Waking the Dead, by John Eldredge, Chap 11, Fellowships of the Heart
