It is better to have friends who are similar to you than those who are different from you. |
It is debatable whether that having friends who have many common grounds is better or not. Some people says that it is better to make friends who are similar to them because they have less possibility to argue with each other. However, I firmly believe that friends who are similar to me will benefit me more because I can have the various experiences with my friends and learn important lessons to develop my personality.
To begin with, it gives more opportunity to develop my personality to have friends who are different with me. To be sepcific, I could learn to be the considerate and understandable person because I have to understand and respect other's opinions even though they are different with mine. According to an article in Chosun-Ilbo, one of the leading newpapers in Korea, students who attend the foreign school including many different students tend to understand and listens to others well compared to those who don't. Thus, it will benefit people in their personality development respect to have friends who are not similar to them.
In addition, Having friends who are different with them allows people to have various experiences. Since every person has different interest or hobbies, when they are other friends, they are likely to try new things that they do not try before and they are not interested in. It will helpful for people because having lots of different kinds of experiences could widen their view of the world. For example, when I was the freshman of the university, I met Suji Kim, one of my best friends, and her hobby was going to the art gallery. Even though I was not interested in art, sometimes I went the art gallery with her. Thanks to her, now I really like to go the art gallery and appreciate the beautiful art works. Thus, I think it is important to have different friends.
In conclusion, I am favor of the idea that it is better to have friends who are not similar to me. This is because it would benefit in many respects such as the personality development and the various experiences.
