C
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection(反省) can lead to personal improvement. However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us.
As we live in social groups, there are many advantages of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us realize the dreams we are searching for. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans.
The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. ① Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness.
The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement by talking with friendly and wise friends. ② We often find it easier to recognize other people's weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one - sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough(彻底的) understanding of our problems.
The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. ③ Friends may have many different ideas and skills.
Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the happiness of staying with a group of people is not the same as being with friends. ④ Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
