Help explain this?

Question

“Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.”? can anyone help explain and clarify this quotes?

thanks.

Answer 1

Sometimes when we're tired/hurt, we need our friends to carry us, as we can't walk the path we'd want the whole way.

Answer 2

With life, having someone to share with, laugh with, cry with, and lean on when times are tough,  is a much more enjoyable experience.

Imagine the opposite, In Life, having no friends to share with you, to help you or to laugh with, make it that much harder to walk the path alone.
