▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that making a lot
of friends is important and it is superior to relationships with a few friends.
However, I disagree with them because we can get true mental stability from a few
close friends who really know us and there is not much time to be with our
sincere friends while we always have to live with many people.
To begin with, we get more
consolation from a deep and close relationship than from moderate many relationships.
We are more relived when we are together with the one who can truly empathize with
us or who can share our most personal things with. For example, when I was
depressed with some personal problems, I went to meetings that can meet many
people to get rid of stress. However, there is no one that I can tell my true
emotions, rather I should hide them not to show my problems to those people. So,
I did not feel really better than before. When I met my close friends after that,
I felt truly comforted at last.
These days, we should meet so many
people for many reasons whatever we want or not. So, there are plenty of opportunities
to spend time with many people but, on the contrary, time to meet very close
friends is not enough. At least in our free time we need to spend our time with
the one who sincerely understand us and can have true communication with. For
example, we spend our most of time at school or workplace, meetings that we
have to attend. There are many people but there is almost no one who we can
trust and want to spend time with. Of course, it is important to learn how to
be with many different people. However, we are in the flood of shallow and weak
relationships while chance to make a deep and genuine relationship is rare like
beans sprouting in a drought.
The number is not important thing in
relationships. The quality is the thing that decides the meaning of them. The one
who can be sympathize with us is much more valuable to us than people who we
meet and part every day. We should cherish the chance to be with the one.
