That

cold

January

night,

I

was

growing

sick

of

my

life

in

SanFrancisco.

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practiceat the

theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines.I was

having

trouble

dealing

with

my

part-time

job

at

the

bank

and

my

acting

atnight at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both

actingand San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt verysmall and

cold.

I

began

running,

both

to

keep

warm

and

to

keep

away

any

possiblerobbers.

Very

few

people

were

still

out

except

a

few

sad-looking

homeless peopleunder blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. Iturned

quickly, half

expecting to

see someone

with

a

knife or

a

gun. The

streetwas

empty.

All

I

saw

was

a

shining

streetlight.

Still,

the

noise

had

made

me

nervous,so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building

and unlockedthe door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my

wallet falling tothe sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the doorand back

to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiouslyfor

fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbagetruck pull up

to

the

sidewalk

next

to

me.

When

a

voice

called

from

the

inside,

“

AlisaCamacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my

name?

The

dooropened,

and

out

jumped

a

small

red-haired

man

with

an

amused look in his eyes. “Isthis what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding

up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’tget much sleep

that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back someenjoyment of

city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as longas people were

willing to help each other.

There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generationplants the

trees; anoth

er gets the shade,” and this is how it should be withmothers and

daughters.

The

relationship

between

a

mother

and

daughter

is

sometimesconfusing.

If

close,

the

relationship

can

be

similar

to

friendship.

However, themother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that

distinguish

itfrom

a

friendship.

These

characteristics

include

a

hierarchy

of

responsibility and unconditional love,which preclude mothers and daughters

from being best friends.

Marina,

27

years

old,

says,

“I

love

spending

time

wi

th

mymom,

but

I

wouldn’t

consider

her

my

best

friend.

Best

friends

don’t

pay

for

yourwedding.

Best

friends

don’t

remind

you

how

they

carried

you

in

their

body and gaveyou life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because

they have been aliveat le

ast 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean

that the mother and daughterrelationship can’t be very close and satisfying.

While

some

adult

relationships

are

still

troubled,

many

findthem

to

be

extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters hasa lot

in

common

which

increases

the

likelihood

of

shared

companionship.

Mothersand daughters have always shared the common experience of being

homemakers,

responsiblefor

maintaining

and

passing

on

family

values

and

traditions.

Today

contemporarymothers

and

daughters

also

share

the

experience of the workforce and technology,which may bring them even closer

together.

Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, butfor better or

worse,

the

mother

and

daughter

relationship

is

permanent,

even

iffor

some

unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationshipis

closer

than

any

other.

There

is

not

an

equal

relationship.

Daughters

should

notfeel

responsible

for

their

mother’s

emotional

well

-

being.

It

isn’t

that

they don’tcare deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be

burdened withtheir mother’s well being.

The

mother

and

daughter

relationship

is

a

relationship

that

isnot

replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes

frequentlywanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for

their always “trumps” friend.

Being

sociable

looks

like

a

good

way

to

add

years

to

your

onships

with

family,

friends,

neighbours,

even

pets,

will

all

do

the

trick,but

the

biggest

longevity

boost

seems

to

come

from

marriage

or

an

equivalent effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who

wrote that widows and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying thantheir

married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as muchas

seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. The effect holds for all

causesof death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.

Even

if

the

odds

are

stacked

against

you

,

marriage

can

more

than

compensate. Linda Waite of the Universityof Chicago has found that a married

older man with heart disease can expect to livenearly four years longer than an

unmarried

man

with

a

healthy

heart.

Likewise,

amarried

man

who

smokes

more than a pack a day is likely to live as l

ong as a divorcedman who doesn’t

smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are morelikely to become ill or

die

in

the

couple

of

years

following

their

spouse’s

death,and

caring

for

a

spouse

with

mental

disorder

can

leave

you

with

some

of

the

samesevere

problems.

Even

so,

the

odds

favour

marriage.

In

a

30-year

study

of

more

than10,000

people,

Nicholas

Christakis

of

Harvard

Medical

School

describes

how all kindsof social networks have similar effects.

So

how

does

it

work?

The

effects

are

complex,

affected

by

socio-economicfactors, health-service provision, emotional support and other

more

example,

social

contact

can

boost

development of the brain and immune system,leading to better health and less

chance of depression later in life. People insupportive relationships may handle

stress better. Then there are the psychologicalbenefits of a supportive partner.
