As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend. If we don't have a friend in the world, our life will not be interesting and we cannot live more happily. But what is true friendship? True friendship can share happiness and asdness with you. A bad friend, on the other hand, only loves you when you are lucky and rich. When you become poor and powerless they will desert you. What's your opinion on this question?

You befriend someone because you like something about that person. That something can be anything, money, personality, anything. I don't think any friend is bad, but in your perspective maybe every friend is bad if they like you for something like money.

Thanks for your response. Maybe you are right. We should find advantages from our friend, so that we don't stick on a label on them.

well, making friends is one of humans' basic form of survival. we could never live alone, as what the famous saying say "no man is an island" according to some sociologist, John Donne. which means it is inate to us to make friends. I make friends a lot. however, there are also times that i choose who i wanna make friends with. but in general, i make friends to anyone i get aquainted with. to make friends is good. we may make hundreds of friends but only few are true.

Yes, I have the same feeling as you. We need to make friends, so that we can live rich and colorful. But just as you said, only a few of them are true friendship with us.

True friends won't leave you even when you're much down in life. By making friend you find the best and the real ones. Friends brighten our days, they are our shoulders to cry on and whom we can share our happiness and success as well.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. That's the problem with this society. Nowadays, people see money as king and don't even put their friends and families in their eyes. All they care is how to get more money. Yes, making friends are beneficial as they help us when we are in times of difficulty, but look at what type of friends we have! The good ones like what you've said, will help you when you are needy and the bad ones shun you like you are infectious. This is what we call, the cruel truth. That's why, when we make friends, we really have to open up our eyes wide so as to know who we are actually making friends with. In this world, only good friends will lead you to the good path and help you along the way. They share everything with you and make sure that whatever good they have, they also want you to have it. This what I call by, good friends. Bad friends will forever be bad. All they see is you....r...money. Once you need their help, they will be distances away from you.

I think if you have no any friends then you can’t enjoy your life. I think for enjoying life their should be some friends. Mostly peoples say that they enjoying their life with their family. I think it is right to enjoying your life with family but I think their must be to having some good friends also because suppose if you are in any problems then whose give you help because you have no any friends. So their must be some good friends.

Yes, I agree with what you said. Both family and good friends are important in our lives. After all, we cann't get help from our family all the time.

For me, true friend is always there for you. Just like in married, in happiness and in pain, I will always there at your side. hehehe lol. In other hand, bad friends are the users. They are just after with your wealth when if you have those. They will just leave you when you need them. So my best of advise, better choose your friends.

Some people say that gaining a huge amount of knowledge is not better than making some good and helpful friends. In the society nowadays, you cannot achieve something big without anyone's help. And helps from true, great friends are important. People may easily fell lonely and unhappy if there is no a friend who sometimes gives you a call can shows cares. So, I think it's good to make friends, only to make good ones.

Hi xtmlove, we need friends in our life, but i feel at least one good friend is enough to share everything. But we must be very keen to select them, if they turned out differently after you made him/her a best friend there are chances are there to take an advantage of our weakness. Not all the people will do but some are there like that. I have friends after marriage most of them settled in abroad and other states, some are there in local whenever they have time they will come to my house and spend with me or they will be talking over phone or chat. I have online friend too so sweet and nice. But all above i feel my husband and GOD is my good and best friends. In this world all sorts of people are existing. We may not get of our choice or kind of people as friends, we have to compromise some times. Nice topic. Have a wonderful day.
