Friendship is a slippery notion. We lose friends as we change and our friends don’t, or as we form other alliances, or as we betray our friends, or are ourselves betrayed. We often make friends for the weakest of reasons. Proximity, for example, or shared experiences, or laziness or need – but what will make them endure as friends? Their similarity to us? Their utter difference from us?” (The Divine Wind, pg 21.)
Do you agree or disagree with what it is saying?
So far I have,
We make friends for some of the strangest reasons. Throughout the book and in real life friendships and relationships are formed every day. The key to a successful relationship is distance from each other. As the closer we get, and the more we hang around with the same people, the more chances of getting irritated and agitated with each other grow.
Therefore, I agree with the quotation. We lose friends as we change and our friends don’t, meaning that we have found a new interest and that person doesn’t fit the needs. We betray our friends or we are betrayed, by lying and cheating. What will make them endure as friends? It is fine to be similar, to have the same interests so you are not complete strangers. But we also need differences to be friends, to be our own individual person.
In my head it sounds stupid, can someone help me re word and make sense. I think I agree with it.
I need 3 paragraphs.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
