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

's mind.
For instance

, there is no
such

person in today's universe who is always right
hence
Linking Words
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

not only build strong relationships but

long-lasting bonds. During tough situations,

this

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