why do we have friends

dear friend! I agree with your view about making friend.I also think what makes a good friend is someone who can be honest,considerate and has a sense of humour.I have many friends and we often play together.I do not notice their economic condition or their family background.we become friends because we have the same interests,the same topic even the same demerit.I feel very happy to be friends with them.

hi willy6, Congratulations for a very well said topic.I have no objections to whatever you mentioned. If I am not mistaken, I also participated in your other discussion about religion and I will admit that those topics of yours are really good. You really have a good thinking and wonderful thoughts. I agree with you that most of the times, some people make friends just because he or she wants to get some things with that particular person. He or she can be benefited by what that person has or possess. It can be money, fame, or power.Such people will come like a lamb whose intention is pure friendship.But the true intention is to get something from you like how a predator attacks its own prey.We can see so many examples of that in our everyday experience in life. Those kinds of people are everywhere. They can be found in the government, media, schools,churches, anywhere. Then after getting what they want, they will leave you and pretend not know you, and you will once again will become a stranger is her or her own face.In the long run you will realize that you were just used by these kind of people.This thing is really sad and disappointing but true and this can happen to anyone. As I was born as a social being, I need friends to talk with. To share my life with,-- be it in good or in bad state. I know how it feels to be used and it is really a very bad feeling.I always carry with me the golden rule "Do not do unto others, what you not want others do unto you." And even though, life seems so unfair sometimes, it is a good thing still to do what you know is right in making friends.

Hi there willy6.. For me, friends are important in my life, most of the time, my friends are one who'se always there for me, who can be my shoulder to cry on, one who can trust with my secrets..yes, i do this also to my family, but friends are different because you can say to them exactly what's in your mind, without doubts but of course to those who are really your friend..i love my friends and they love me too.. happy mylotting..

Hello there. Its really good to have friends whom you can depend on and at times, can help each other when there's problems. There are times that you have the wrong friends but we just have to go on and find other persons who can you call real friends. And yes, you are right in terms of having friends for the wrong reason and not because of more valuable things. I encountered some who just want to be friends just to gain something that makes me doubt every time a person wants to be close to me. I guess I'm just careful now and go with persons whom i know best or someone whom i feel is nice.

You are absolutely right my friend, We dont make friends but it happeds naturally. I am agree with you, some people make friends for money & needs. Friends are the person or people with whom we are sharing our thinking, we can discuss with him. When I was doing job sometimes I feel tired or stressed & that time I cal my Friends then It helps me to get out of my Stress & tiredness.

i agree with your opinion about friends.as a person in society,we need many kind of friends for many reasons.because society is made up of people,we living in this environment must obay its rules,or else,we are doomed to give up by the society.

yeah. I agree with you. friends are the most important people in my life. my family, my husband,my kids.etc. all of them are my friends. then are so necessary.
