Comes GYE, and all of a sudden it's ok to call up your friend, (and in this way the friends here are more valuable than any other) and tell him what you struggle with. Or that your upset with your wife. Or that your wife is too fat. Or that your kids are not really fitting the mold (GASP). And the friends here are people who accept you in spite of the fact that you, like all humans, are flawed.
