Which do you prefer? - Some people choose friends who are different from themselves. Others choose friends who are similar to themselves |
Many people have different idea about choosing friends. Some people prefer the peer who has similar backgrounds, hobby and charecteristics but others tend to meet who is different from themselves. I prefer to meet friends who is different from me because he can provide another provision of experience as well as excitement.
First, meeting different kinds of people offers an opportunity for various experience. It is true that the man himself does not have enough time for do every thing which he want to. And spending time with friends can help someone experience something indirectly. For instatnce, my friend who enjoys traveling usually tell me about his point of view about where he has been and even though I doen't take journey often, his story extends my knowledge about world. In conclusion, if someone meet different people, he can get lots of information and knowledge. That's the reason why I prefer to meet peers who is not similar with me.
Second, When someone meet friend different from themselves, he can be excited because every single talking or playing supports new aspect of vision. For example, in the novel Demian, Sinclair was a deseperated boy but after he meets Demian, he learned many valuable thing about life and got ment excitment. This example explains the importance of meeting different type of friend since Sinclair could not be satisfied if he met friend similar to him. In this manner I strongly prefer to meet friends who is different with me.
To sum up, I believe that meeting friends who is unlike from me is better than to meet friends who has many thing in common with me because he can offer precious experience which I doen't have and I could be excited from his idea and talking. |
