I have a question regarding friendship and non-attachment. Is it considered wrong or bad in Buddhism to have friends you really care about since Buddhism teaches we shouldn't be attached? For example I love my best friend and I'd hate it if we stopped being friends or something happened to him. I guess my question is what is the Buddhist response to this situation. I guess I'm asking is it wrong or bad to have close friends in Buddhism?
