It is often argued by some that a person should befriend a like-minded counterpart;
on the other hand
, others think that the difference of opinions should be a basic necessity in a friendship. Linking Words
This
essay agrees with the former as the opposite person will bring much need diversity of thoughts, which will be beneficial for the overall growth of the friendship.
I will like Linking Words
to begin
with a proverb- birds of a feather flock together-which confirm the rationality of people who hang out with an identical personality. Since they think, act, and choose alike, they never have a difference of opinion, Linking Words
thus
, they never have a conflict, which in turn makes them a-Yes Man. The problem with Linking Words
this
ideology is not only the non-disclosure of real facts as Linking Words
this
might hurt the other half but Linking Words
also
their inability to see their life differently, which is a better way to live life. Linking Words
For instance
, two best friends, who are geeks, will always talk about books, projects, competitions, being unaware of the real world Linking Words
that is
waiting for them in the form of travel, parties, and extra-curricular activities.
Linking Words
On the contrary
, like a magnet, opposite people attract each other. Two different counterparts, whose action, selection and thoughts are highly dissimilar, bring a fresh perspective, which is separate, but when clubbed together, act as a whole. They perfectly complement each other, and for the betterment, they do not mind rejecting another person's opinion. Because of all these benefits, I feel that two non-identical personalities are always better than identical ones. Linking Words
For example
, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the founders of Apple corporation, were different personalities, yet they were the best of friends.
To conclude, Linking Words
although
there is a debate about whether like-minded individuals should hang out together or dissimilar people, I feel that later should be the right approach for friendship as Linking Words
this
brings rich diversity in thoughts and actions, which is indeed beneficial to both the counterparts.Linking Words
