Those who consider the easier the better might says that similar chcaracteristics and interests is essential to make a friend. However, I think that we can make a friend with people who have the opposite personality and interests. There are two main reasons: it's more advantageous to get diverse types of knowledge and life lessons and It is more easier to get along with friends.
To begin with, It is more helpful to having friends with different charateristics and intersts becuase they make us expand our knowldeges and know new life lessons.
In a sense, it is true that in a such a competitive society you don't have to know various knowldges, but it is enough to know only your expert knowledges to survive in your fields. However, although you have a nice job thanks to your expertise, you will fail to socialize with others. In other word, you will be isolated from your peer.
by spend time with friends who have different interests and concerns, you can widen your perspecitive and insight about various kinds of matters. This allow you to have a comfortale talk with your co-works and even starange people. given that being sociable is improtanly regarded as the most important factor in a human-oriented society, it is not similiaries but differences that we need to consider when we make a friend since they lead us to be successful in a society.
Sencon, when it comes to having long-term relationship, it is better to make a friend with different characteristics.
Some people migh say that they are attracted by similar appearance and personality. However, it can not last long.
Suppose that when you have troubles with your friends who are similar, can your sense of humor solve them? it cannot if it is easily expected by your friends who have similiar interests with you.
If your friend dosen't want to talk to you any more, you who has similair personality also doesn't talk to your friend. It is different think and behavior in dealing with human relationship that keep your frienly friendship with your friends. This factor of comfortable relationship are improtant becuase people stress out about intricate human relaionship thses days.
In summary, I believe that it is essential to having friends with have friends with different personality and interests since this makes it possible to have diverse knowlege and life lessons and it allow us to have comfortable relationship with friends in a long time.
