1. I agree with your views. Parents are definitely capable of all things, including defending, protecting themselves and surviving if they were able to raise us up. Friends on the other hand, might need more support, emotionally and physically wise.

2. I see that you've the same sentiments as me. Protecting friends who are always there for you is a wise choice. And the phrases "for this small island is my homeland. Without it, I will not even be able to meet these friends. Without them, they will never be me." is a well spoken truth.
