Friendships are beautiful but they need constant effort for sustenance. Some
believe a
should have a similar thought process, while others believe it is okay to have a
who has a different opinion on certain matters. In
essay, I will explain both views and will establish that having a
who sometimes disagrees with you is even better for your own self.
Some champion the thought that having a
who is like-minded is better because they feel contradictory opinions can ruin their
in the long term. According to them, it is better to live in harmony rather than having disputes or arguments over petty things. If two friends,
, are having a discussion on a political matter, and they have the same point of view
they get a feeling that they are always correct and they pat themselves on the back feeling proud of themselves. If they had opposite views,

place.
In conclusion, picking a
can be a daunting decision for some, especially for those who are only looking for like-minded
to be friends with. According to me, it is certainly important to have disagreements whenever necessary for your personal growth as it is impossible for two
to think exactly the same in all situations.
