Get The Full Value Of Life By Mark Twain

Friendship is something that everyone needs at any time. Friendship keeps us closely interacted with our friends, it keeps you popular, keeps you away from loneliness.

People need companionship to help them in times of hardship. Women tend to confide more in their same sex friends rather than men who, most of the time, find competitiveness in their friendships rather than telling them things that may show signs of weakness. People who have friends of the opposite sex at this time in their life, usually share some sort of romantic bond. These types of friendships normally come from school or work, but decline after the person is married. All friendships often decline after marriage because the people involved in the relationship find the closest bonds between themselves and spend most of their time together. During marriage people find friendships with their siblings to be closer than most.

Friendship is defined by Kant in the Metaphysic of Morals as “an association of two persons through equal and mutual love and respect”. In his early view, Kant saw a conflict between human nature and ideal friendship. He believes in the primacy of self-love and the priority that people give to their own happiness before all else. Friendship, characterized by mutual interests, neutrality and in one another’s well-being, will ideally want to nurture one another, swallow up self-love and overcome self-interest. These direct inconsistencies in human nature and ideal friendship makes ideal friendship difficult to attain. We would instinctively not want to have friends, but since friendship is said to be “true and necessarily” ideal, for moral reasons, we should have friends.

Everyone enters the world with a hole in their hearts that parents fill temporarily in the beginning; however, the void expands as the child grows and becomes independent of the parents. So how can the emptiness be satisfied? Friends are the simple, safe answer, but not everyone has that choice. Encouraged by an extroverted society, people today seek other’s attentions and friendship to complete them. But what is a friend? A true friend is someone who faces the world side by side with you, pushes and encourages you to be your best self. The friendship may start with something simple like football or tv shows but lead to deeper, more meaningful conversations. The initial relationship between two individuals over a shared activity can lead to true friendship when they connect over shared truths. For example, my best friend and I bonded at one of our high school football games when we both stood at one corner of the student section and agreed it was too noisy and overwhelming. Later at school, we discussed tv shows, books, and social awkwardness. These conversations led to sharing personal experiences and theological beliefs; now, we share anything and everything without fearing judgement. Additionally, we count on receiving honest advice. Together, we faced our senior year side by side.

Friendship is one of the most valuable components in life. Friendship has the ability to change lives in a positive way. Friendship changes people’s views on life to a more positive outlook. “True friendship is when someone knows you better than yourself and takes a position in your best interests in a crisis. Friendship goes beyond sharing time together, and it is long lasting.” (Friends.com). As we spend a lot of time with our friends, friendship opens our minds to different ways of viewing the world. Unfortunately, sometimes strong barriers may be placed by those who see two people’s friendship as a threat; since people are influenced by their friends, friendship could make people question what

Life wouldn’t be the same if friends didn’t exist. Since one could not ever know when a friend will come by and remove that loneliness that have been longed in the hearts. That is what should be called a true “best friend.” Those are people who continue to be loyal no matter what happens, unless it’s serious, dead serious. Although those type of friends aren’t the only type of friends one could have. There are also true friends, normal friends and frenemies(a friend that became an enemy). Worst type of friend that could one could ever have is a frenemy, but a friend who spills a secret is even worse. These type of friends differ on people who were trusted the least or most, depending on their trustful relationship with that one main friend. Continuing on, there just aren’t a lot of trustful friends in this vast world. That’s when trust issues begin to form between, slowly building up until one of the two or three friends fall and back away from the group. Friends could help other friends to fill in that loneliness deep inside of many different people. That is when friendship begins to show its true colors. Friendship could make up different relationships as well as breaking them apart.

Lasting a year or a lifetime, friendship is something that we’ve all experienced and cherished throughout our lives. It has an impacted us in a good or bad way, teaching us a lesson for every encounter we come across: which brings a new meaning to the word friendship. I’ve had many good and bad friendships throughout my life, but one experience gave me a bigger outlook on the word “Friendship”.

Friendship is an entity that has been in our history since the beginning of time. This seemingly unbreakable bond has been ingrained in us since before we were able to speak and really understand the value of friendship. Television has even promoted this relationship throughout the years with shows such as Sesame Street featuring Bert and Ernie, the 90’s mega hit simply entitled Friends all the way to the wildly popular cartoon Spongebob and his faithful best friend and sidekick Patrick. Friendships can carry strong or limited emotions so there may be highs and lows, but at the end of the day friendships have been proven to be beneficial for individuals, groups and society as a whole.

Friendship: a word familiar to all and found everywhere. A prime example of friendship can be seen in the Toy Story movies between the main characters, Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Throughout the movies, these two cartoon characters constantly find themselves in unfortunate dilemmas and many fights. Woody and Buzz, however, quickly learn that they need to work together to solve their problems and this leads them to become the best of friends. In the movie Monsters Inc., Mike and Sully The Oxford American Dictionary defines friendship as a relationship between two people who enjoy mutual affection and regard. Everyone has friendships; however, what defines a true friendship?

Also, I think that those are reasons why there shouldn’t be any exact answer to true meaning of friendship because it will not only bring dissatisfactory from those who have different opinions but also conflicts.

This questions leads us into our second pillar; love. It does not matter if you are married, just started dating or you are best friends, it is important to love each other. Love is not just another feeling, it can sometimes be described, although, as said by many of the test takers; the best type is the love you can not describe using words. Some of the people even stated that when you are friends with somebody, you develop a special kind of love for them. One in which you can find trust and support, two of the three pillars for a stable relation. As friends, you see them as a go-to person; one in which you can always count on; one that no matter what will always be there for

Friendship is an integral part of the life of any human being. Most people feel the need to have a person who they can communicate with and talk about their challenges at any given time. Friendship is essential in

Imagine your sole confidante, childhood playmate, personal comedian and physiologist disclosing your secrets to a stranger. Unfortunately, this stranger happens to be the person who enforce a form of punishment for the actions that were once a secret. Furthermore, this confidante is considered your friend. Does an instance of this friend disclosing your secret of immoral activities to a person of authority violate the success of the friendship? In fact, this act is not a violation of the laws of friendship. The ideas of friendship are subjective, and thus where you might think your friend’s actions are unjust, your friend is actually looking out for your best interest and security. Also, a good friend would not desire

The term friendship is defined as a mutual strand of affection between two or more people. It is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association. It is a link between people who show trust and altruism with one another without the placement of sexual or physical intimacy that commonly happens in a romantic relationship. Friends tend to share common interests, demographics, backgrounds, and traits of the self. However, before we get to know a person, we use perception to categorize them into a certain role. It often causes us to assume that the other party is superior or inferior to us. We do this more often than not without even realizing we’ve engaged in perception. Perception played a very large part in the first meeting of my best friend, Cinda, and I.

Do you have friends? Most likely, you answered yes, but I’m asking do you have “true friends”? I use quotes because my understanding of the general populous concludes me to believe people don’t have real honest, genuine, friends. These superficial friendships I speak of lead to a disastrous chaos, betrayal, and most importantly: a broken heart. Friends are those who look out for each other, those who will abort any personal objective for you at the drop of a hat. These aspects show a real friend, these aspects describe Rachel Stephenson.
