Some people think It's better to choose friends who always have the same opinions as them. Other people believe it is good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, friendship plays an important role in our daily life. There has been controversy about whether finding like-minded

friends

is better than building friendships with different points of view

as well as

contrasting personalities. From my perspective, I believe having

friends

with the same thoughts is more beneficial and in some way, its merits outweigh its demerits. On

one

side of the argument, there are people who take the view that it is better to have buddies with different minds because they can change

one

initial thoughts and make decisions from different angles which can widen

one

's mind.

For instance

, there is no

such

person in today's universe who is always right

hence

having someone with dissimilar characteristics can change your mind in another way.

Additionally

, married couples with different opinions often may argue

due to

having diverse aspects

however

the conflict helps them to chase their goals by forgiving and understanding each other.

On the other hand

, having buddies with similar mindsets always can help individuals to reach their purpose in life without any difficulties. Meanwhile, like-minded

friends

not only build strong relationships but

also

long-lasting bonds. During tough situations,

for example

, whenever someone is stressed at work or feels sad

due to

a personal problem,

this

kind of friendship is found helpful.

Therefore

,

one

will never get a perfect and happy life if someone is always against the way they choose. In conclusion, despite the advantages of having unlike-minded partners, it seems to me

that is

more important to have similar mindsets and opinions with

friends

and

this

is because the real definition of friendship and relationship is to support

one

another, not to stress.
