▶ Your Answer :
In magnetic field, the same
magnetic poles cannot be put together. However, the opposite magnetic poles
strongly attract each other. Many people believe that this principle
can be applied to making a relationship, which means this
is the same case in making friends that it is
better to have friends who are different from them. Yet, I believe human relationships
are totally different with the magnet case. In another word, similar people go
together well and in some cases, it is better than making different people as a
friend. Since having a friend who is similar with me can help me finding out my
own weaknesses. Also, I can avoid facing many conflicts deriving from making a
friend who is different from with
me.
To start with, (unlike
others who agree that making friends with different personality is better than
having relationship with similar people,)
I believe that friends who can share many similarities with me are much better.
This is because a friend that has similar personality enables me to discover my
flaws and fix them out by myself based on my findings. My personal experience,
as an example, I had a friend who is very positive, easy-going and active,
which are totally different character from those I had. When I
was friend with her, I could only see my strengths and my great virtues from
her flaws and weaknesses. Thus, comparing myself with her, I thought I am far
better than her. However, when I met a person who shares so many things in
common, I started to face me directly. From her, I could see my negative sides
which I considered as a “great virtues” before. As a result, I had a chance to
know more about my hidden hided
personality by having a friend who is similar to/with
me.
On top of that, the reason why I agree that having
similar person as my friend is much better is that there will be less conflict
between me and my friend. What I mean by this is that since I share many things
in common with my friend, I can avoid doing things that will make him or
her unhappy. To illustrate this point, my younger sister had a hard time
dealing with conflict she had with her friend who is different from her.
Whenever she came from school, she seemed so stressed out that she did not talk
much or eat properly but just went to bed. Fortunately, when she moved to high
school, she met a new friend, who had from whom
she found many things alike her. She said
she could guess how her friend would think and feel in advance due to the
similar personality. As a result, she enjoyed going to school and carried that
happiness with her when returning home.
To sum up, I strongly support the idea that friends from
whom I can find many similarities with me are better than friends who are
different with me. This is because I can fix out my flaws and also I don’t have
to make my days tough by coping with
conflicts. On the whole, friends can make our life full of happiness but also
hard. (It is depends)
Depending on what kind of friend we make(,) how
our life would become is highly depended on
what kind of friend we make. |
