Your Answer :
Because of the diversity of genetic codes, there is no such person who are identical with another person. All the people have their own individuality. However, people who are grown up in a similar circumstances and same culture have many things in common. Particularly, I prefer those people who have many things similar, especially my friends. I agree with the statement that it is better to have friends who are similar to me for two reasons; One is, we can keep in touch each other easily and the other is, I feel more comfortable.
To start with, having a contact with friends who are similar to me is a lot easier. This is because it is easy to make a schedule to meet each other. What I mean is that, since people have indistinguishable lifestyle, we often spend a same moment for same things. For instance, as I am a university student, when I meet my friends who attend the same university we can call each other any time and contact immediately. This includes having lunch together, taking a break together and studying in the libarary together. On the contrary, when I meet my frineds who work in a music bar at night, I have to stay up late and visit the music bar or my friends should wait until the morning. Keeping touch with friends who are similar to me takes less effort.
On top of that, I feel more comfort with my friends who are similar to me. The reason is that there are many times when we feel the things same way. For exmaple, let's consider the dinner time. I like seafood, not steak. When I plan a dinner with my friends who are in common preferences with me, we might go to eat seafood. In contrast, when I have a supper with friends who like steak rather than seafood, there might be some problems to make a decision. I feel comfortable when doing things I want to, so I prefer being with friends who are similar to me.
To summarize, I totally agree with the statement that it is better to have friends who are similar to me rather than have friends who are different from me. Having friends who are different from me is sometimes really exciting. They can give me new thoughts and innovative thoughts. However, in the long run, I prefer to have a friends many things common with me. |
