We can not learn properly about other people from just their friend. A reason of being friend could be categorized into two; one is because they share the same interest and another one is by accident. Using these two big categories, my opinion on the statement will be explained. When two people share same interest, it is more likely to be friend. Because of this reason, learning about other people from their mates seems to plausible. However, It is really easy to mislearn because they share just some of the same knowledge not whole of those. For example, I have a friend who has totally different personalities with me. But we are friend because he likes the singer as I like. This shows that the friend can only reveal one my personal information; favorite singer. On top of that, people usually makes friend by accident. It means that they met together randomly. I do not think we can learn about other people by overcoming this randomness. For example, when I was traveling, I have made many friends. One of those is a soccer player. I met him in the street to request taking picture. Another one of those is a student in island. He and I have been friend because we were crushed during the riding a bicycle. These high randomnesses can be a big barrier to knowing a person. To sum up, people can not be analyzed by their friend in both the two processes of being friend because this process has high randomness. For these reasons, knowing people from their friend is impossible. |
