There are many kinds of people in the world. Some people could be similar to me, but other people who are different from me also live on the earth. Each individuals' characteristics are precious in themselves. However, when it comes to making friends, I believe that becoming friends with the people who are similar to me is much more better then people who are different from me. There are 2 reasons why I think so.
First of all, I can spend a lot of time together with friends who have similar tates to mine. Being with them would be very comfortable and fun, because both my friend and I can fully enjoy doing the same thing together. For example, I'm a voracious reader. A friends of mine also loves reading. I often spend much time with her, reading the same book and talking about ther book. In this meaningful experience, we contribute to each other's knowledge and grow the depth of thinking.
Moreover, friends whose characteristics are similar to mine are less likely to have arguments with me. If 2 people's way of thinking are different, their opinions may clash, and it is not good to maintain a good relationship between them. I felt the importance of similarity keenly when I lived in a dormitory. I'm a morning person and cleaned my area often. But my roommate always slept in and never arranged her things neatly. A huge gap between our life style often made us have a conflict.
People who are different from me are also worthy of being respected. However, I would be much more happier to spend time with friends who are similar to me than friends who are not. We can have a lot of meaningful time together, and since we are similar, we won't object to each other's opinion. |
