Every single one of us has a friend. We meet them at school , at work or at any other place and can hardly imagine living our lives without them. Some like to say they have a lot of friends, some just have one and even some people think that categorizing friends into different classes i.e. A close friend , a fair-weather friend etc. is very important. Nonetheless the concept of a friend remains the same.
It's quite easy to make a friend or two if you have the right qualities. There are special trainers and courses in which you can learn how to gain the right qualities, but I believe that you must be born as a social person. What's inside a person is the thing that matters the most, because when time will come people are going to see your true face, so it's better not to have a mask.
Although friend is just a word describing a person close to you, friends can still be categorized as I mentioned before. Even though it's possible, still one mustn't do that in order to prevent arguing that may occur between some people. Categorizing depends on the person himself , if a person believes, that friends with different qualities are meant to be in different in categories it's best to let him have his way, because who would like for someone to tell them what to do and how to live.
In conclusion I would like to say that keep in mind who your friends and who your colleagues are. Because at some moment in which you will need help you may be misguided by thinking that all of your friends will come to help.
I agree that the one has to have the right qualities to make friends. Some people have them, some don't and, like you said, the mask doesn't work for a very long time. However, I'd like to point out that even without those right qualities a person is not doomed when it comes to friendship.
ReplyDeleteThats true that you have to see differences between friends and colleagues. Because in bad situations you never know who is going to help you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that you have to be born as a social person :)
ReplyDeleteI think that there is much of your own experience in this work. It can help us to learn something in future. It is about being yourself. Short and easy to read work :)
ReplyDeleteStasy, I definitely agree with you that person should be honest and trustful if he wants to have a real friends in life. Good work.
ReplyDeleteAs expected, you have written a very good and informative essay. You have a very accurate opinion towards friendship.
ReplyDeleteOf course, if I want to be different, I'll absolutely go to the courses but I think that there are lots of people who want to be themselves and do not want to change at all :)
ReplyDeleteYes, have to choose our friends carefully ;) Also,I agree with this statement: " it's better not to have a mask ".
ReplyDeleteGood luck !
I partly agree with, because the part about telling the difference between a friend and a mutual friend is quite obvious. But i do disagree with the idea that people with different interests can't be friends, it depends on your own interests and intentions towards other people, you just have to give it a try :)
