Reflection Paper About Friendship

“One of the most beautiful qualities about friendship is to understand and to be understood”. Friendship is one of many building blocks in life.Although some friendships may be lower on the building it doesn’t mean it been there to support oneself as they continue to build their way up. Friendship helps one realize how the absence of a friend helps one broaden its view on how important someone could be to another. Friendship creates one to value the others opinion to guides them towards a positive direction, and finally how friendships allow others to experience situations no one else could give them,which in return creates memories that would forever be held onto.

The good can be friends. Socrates says, “Perhaps half of it, and perhaps the whole of it, but we’re just not understanding” (p.339, 214B). What he means by half is that half of similar people can be friends; the good can be friends and the bad cannot be friends. Friendship has to do with sharing of thoughts, private and sensitive things and not only property. If you know a friend is good then you can trust him or her.

Part of friendship consists of accepting a friend's shortcomings. This theme, generally associated with A Separate Peace, means that friends should embrace each other's imperfections. Some people seem perfect with no flaws at all while others seem hopelessly imperfect with many flaws, but the truth is everyone makes mistakes. Friends should accept each other's shortcomings because unrealistic expectations can damage a relationship. In A Separate Peace, both Finny and Gene had difficulty accepting a friend's shortcomings.

A Separate Peace is a story about friendship. A pair of best friends doing the best they can in a time when life is hectic and the world is confusing. This story gives us characters dealing with friendship, emotion that can destroy friendship and hardships that only a true friendship could withstand. A Separate Peace is about friendship and the many factors that effect it. The emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends.

Making friends based off of who you really are will get you better friends than trying to act like them or act cool. The people that think they know me could possible get surprised if I would actually open up to them and show them my true self. Although I have stated that I have a deeper side to me, it 's not like my friends don 't know me, there are a select few that do know all of these hidden qualities of myself. Jarrod, he is my best friend and he knows just about everything that happens in my life, I tell him all my problems and I feel I can trust him with anything and everything. I don 't think that having most of the people you see everyday, not know everything about you is not bad or good.

I believe that it's the one thing that's greater than family because, you've carefully chosen those few special individuals to share in your life's journeys and experiences. I'm assuming that like me, you have many acquaintances as people seem to flock to you, but you are very cautious of those with whom you regard as a friend. In sum, friends can be considered as family, but not all family can be considered as friends. Just know that I am eternally playful and tend to be a prankster, so perhaps you prepare yourself for it! I'm down with verbal jabs, but may be a little rusty as most people are just too sensitive these days!

Friends are the family one chooses for himself. In many cases, close friends are involved or interested in the same types of activities. Though often heralded as the maker of friendships, these shared activities often are not. Similar interest may bring people together, but what makes friends stay together is a sense of belonging and support.

I have a very close cross-generational friend whom I share almost everything with, I feel comfortable telling her thing that I would not tell to the majority of my other friends. There are many times when I know that I would not have made it through a situation with my sanity intact without her advice and

“A true friend accepts who you are and helps you become who you should be.” Steve and Nathaniel proved that friendship and happiness can be real in the novel The Soloist by Steve Lopez. The way friendship is portrayed in the novel is unexpected in such a way that we don’t see it happen often in our daily life. It is important to our society because finding a true friend is really difficult to find. True friendship is hard to find now in days because we expect many things in return from other people. However, this novel teaches us that we shouldn’t expect anything in return because many people don’t have anything to give us back but just their company and support.

In my opinion love is almost a privilege and not a given. People I am close to say you will always love your mother and father, but that is not always the case with everyone.
