One, Two or Three Chairs

By some I am consider a loner, one who values and savors solitude, to my best friend I am considered a close confidant, one who treasures friendship, keeps secrets and who is always there for my best friend. To the rest of the world I am considered, social, friendly, inquisitive, a talker and one who loves to chat.
With all of that I am reminded of this quote by Henry David Thoreau:
"I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship and three for society."
How many chairs are you?

One for my family for strength, two for my friends for companionship and laughter and another one for my community for support. It is by far one of the many achievements one could have if we are considered as someone they can rely on or simply be an inspiration for many people. I'd like to think of myself as someone like that. My friends, especially my family always rely on me. I just hope that the deeds I made truly make them appreciate what I have to offer.

Thank you for your response. That is a very nice analogy and your friends and family are lucky to have you in their lives.
