This
kind of friendship teaches tolerance and acceptance of those who are very different from themselves.To illustrate,when two buddies differ in their political
views
and have a good discussion about it,they indirectly become better citizens at the end of their debate as they exchanged important notions which made them support the different political parties. In inference,I believe a healthy level of disagreements between pals would help individuals in their journey of life
in contrast
to being surrounded by
friends
who blindly support us without pointing out our mistakes and helping us to outgrow them.
