Things That Make Friendships Last a Lifetime
There is a type bond that is made between a set people who want to go farther than being just acquaintances. A healthy friendship contains respect, people who respect each other by means of equal fashion. Friends should often care about the well-being of the other person. Many friendships also include acts, whether they are acts of kindness that work towards the best interest of the other without requiring materialistic items in return. A healthy friendship also contains honesty.
An act of kindness between friends can be seen when a young man who recently broke up with the girlfriend he was living with at that time and had nowhere else to go. The man’s one buddy, who ended up discovering that his friend was on the verge of being homeless decided to go over and help him move out of his house into his house. The man’s friend did not offer his assistance in the matter because he was asked but rather because it was the right thing to do at the time. He never asked for anything in return because he was helping a friend and it’s the correct thing to do when you or someone you know needs help the most. Another example of this type of occurrence is when you are walking down the street and you take notice to somebody struggling carrying something, you out of common courtesy ask if they need help. They may not always take it but they will appreciate the thought. As humans, some of us
Close friends often have a major impact on the choices that people make. A close
Friendship is shared between two people or a group of people that trust, support, care and are comfortable with each other ("Friendship"). Everyone wants to be a friend and have a friend because of the feelings it gives him or her. It makes them feel like they belong somewhere, like they have a place in the world, and it makes them feel secure and happy to be who they are (Vernon). These are the friends who you can
Two people of different ages and genders can form solid friendship, which becomes their spiritual dependence and compensates their lacking of emotional care. Also, the end of friendship further demonstrates the importance of it. This paper will focus on Okyō and Kichizō’s friendship in “Separate Ways,” by Higuchi Ichiyo, and Park So-nyo and Lee Eun-gyu’s friendship in Please Look After Mom by Kyung-sook Shin, to analyze the form and end of their friendships.
Marlene Dietrich once said, “It is the friends that you can call at four a.m. that matter.” There are many different types of friendships. Casual friendships, opposite-sex friendships, and long term friendships are all examples of the different and common types of friendships used today. Casual friends are those you can text and hangout with every once in a while, without any sort of attachment. Friends of the opposite sex are those who help you with your relationships when you are having problems, and also friends who can give you a different outlook and perspective on not just relationships but also life. Long term friends are those who have been the most dependable, and friends who you have ideally created the most memories with. These types of friendships have various benefits and include lifelong experiences.
Friendship is a relationship in which two people often share openly and equally with each other, it takes time and effort to build up a friendship. It is common in friendships to share moments of happiness, joy, grief, fear, and the list goes on. Honesty is the single most important component to a friendship because it creates trust. Honesty helps to build feelings of being connected. Honesty helps build loyalty. A friend does not always tell the other what they want to hear, but will always tell one what they need to hear. Friendship is not one-sided. An individual is not going to confide their deepest darkest secrets to someone whom they don't
Friendships are an important part of everyday life. The vast amount of research focusing on friendship (i.e., Fehr, 1996; Hays, 1984; Argyle & Henderson, 1985) is indicative of just how important friendship is to everyday life. The importance and necessity of friendship is also evident by how these relationships are portrayed on television. Shows such as Friends, Cougartown, Psych, and How I Met Your Mother portray various different kinds of friendship. Shows such as these provide viewers with a unique opportunity to be able to be an observer in these relationships and to see how these relationships form and develop. In some instances, viewers may have the opportunity to watch a friendship begin and blossom throughout the course of a television series.
Friendship is often cited in criticisms of impartial consequentialist moralities such as utilitarianism. (Hurka) According to dictionary.com, utilitarianism is the ethical doctrine that virtue is based on utility, and that conduct should be directed toward promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number of persons. Friends are essential in life because they are there throughout the good and bad times. They are there to bring out the best in you, such as being there to help you achieve the goals you have set and inspire you to be the best person you could be. Friends prevent loneliness and they also help improve your self-confidence and self-worth. Knowledge, achievement, and virtue are also quality goods that a friend
Make it last forever, friendship never ends” (Spice Girls). The Spice Girls are not the only ones who see the importance in the relationships one has with their friends. Most people depend heavily upon their friends, as they provide kindness, support, and joy to one’s life. But are friendships the most important relationships one holds in their life? How do friendships compare to familial bonds or one’s significant other? It is imperative to make relationships in order to be emotionally and psychologically satisfied, but having a close group of friends may not always provide the same benefits as other types of connections.
The importance of a women’s friendship is to provide a special bond, support system, and everlasting memories so that a concrete relationship will continue to grow and expand throughout a lifetime. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, friendship is defined as “the quality or state of being friendly.” This definition means that a friend is truly someone who is caring and is willing to go out of their way to impact and change one’s life. Friendship truly signifies caring, impact, and the ability to change one’s life through tools such as stories and memories. My story is about my best friend named Jessica. This is about a time where I was stressed in my freshman year of highschool. Out of everyone, she was the first one to give me guidance and keep my mind off of school stress. In addition, she taught me to start living life and let things go. In conclusion, from this experience, I have learned so much about my true passions as well as developed a close-knit relationship with someone I can call a true friend.
Human interaction and the bonds of friendship and love between people have fascinated us for centuries. Scientists, poets, authors, and many others have inquired, explored, and expressed their findings throughout history. Whereas scientists ' focal point is often the reasoning behind these feelings and why we behave the way we do, authors approach the subject with a representation of what it means to be human and possess these qualities. In every culture throughout time, authors have delved into stories, both real and imagined, that illustrate the relationships between people and the loyalty to one another. Through the use of characters and plot, they have depicted how the true measure of a person 's character lies in his integrity and how he interacts with others. Charles Dickens, an author during the Victorian era, is held as one of the greatest novelist of all time. Dickens addresses many universal themes and issues in all of his novels. In Charles Dickens ' extolled novel, Great Expectations, through the skillful crafting of characters such as Abel Magwitch, Pip, and Joe, the renowned author illustrates the bond of loyalty between humans and the actions of responsibility that it procures, as well as the value and true humanity of a person stemming from his inner worth.
The purest of the friendships is the complete friendship. This type of friendship is rare, as friends like these are uncommon. The parties share like-minded views and wish good on the other. Each of the people care for the character of the other, and they share both pleasure and pain. It continues if the good and virtue of the friendship survives (168). The main component in the longevity of the complete friendship is firm foundation in trust (169). Trust is the basis for genuinely closeness. Utility is not the priority in complete friendships, and the reciprocation of loyalty and admiration make complete friendships so rare.
I was born on September 15, 2001 in Martinez, CA. I have only one other sibling which is my older brother by three years. Both of my parents have been involved in my life since I was born and I can’t think of time they weren’t there for me.
I think the biggest decision I’ve ever made was to separate myself from a toxic friend group. Middle School has many people who don’t know what else they want from life except making others feel bad. Let me tell my story. I involved myself with an old friend thinking the friendship will blossom into something beautiful, and it did. We went to each others houses and bake cakes, had sleepovers, stayed up until 4 AM watching movies, and made so many inside jokes that I still laugh to to this day. Unfortunately, School was almost about to start and when school started, we still hung out and talked but not like we did during summer. Other people starting to come into the friendship I had made with her, our friend circle expanded. Those people seem nice and caring but they were good friends to an extent. One day that old friends stop talking to me. I cried about it because I cared for her, she was there for me and I was there for her whenever no one else was, I expected the same care back from her but I expected too much apparently. I learned that she was talking behind my back, she would spread lies about me and turned everyone against me, even a childhood friend. My world flipped upside down. I remained quiet half of the school year and was blamed for things I didn’t say, I was hated for being the victim and later on being accused of thinking I make myself the victim when I did nothing but love this girl. I was called a snake and a liar and many other names I choose not to say,
Friends are there to give support through the tough times, help determine strenuous decisions, and also, to enjoy. While it’s essential to have friends who will give guidance and help you along your life path, at this point in my life, my priority is to enjoy time with friends. Support is from friends is valued when you need it, and right now I don’t. Yet, I still value friends themselves.
Being in public school for thirteen years I have learned a lot. I have learned how to read, math, science, etc. While all these things I’ve learned are superb and can help me in life they are not the most important lessons I’ve learned throughout my life. I have learned the hardest thing anyone can learn is how to form friendships with others. Making friends is a hard thing to learn because no one teaches it. There is no class that helps kids learn to make friends. People must learn how to make friends on their own, it is a life skill which no class in school can teach people. I struggled like everyone else to learn this, and at times I felt I struggled more than others.
