>Also funnily enough of course even in the Western classical tradition the most iconic relationship is the male companionship Yes, this is the thing to consider. Modernity has atomized us and destroyed the ancient understanding of friendship which was key to how they navigated the world. People retreated to marriage, which now also is faltering. I believe reclaiming friendship would radically transform our world in such a way that many other ailing institutions would be restored to health. "A man without friends is like a man with one arm." -Serbian Proverb
