The Three Types Of Friends In Life According To Aristotle

1. Friends For A Reason:

With this friendship, both parties obtain a benefit from each other. The friendships are generally quite shallow. It is like a give take relationship. Also known as utility friendships because they serve a purpose, not a true bond.

Aristotle classes this friendship as evil and selfish one.

2. Friends For A Season:

Friends coming together due to similar likes, values, and activities. These friendships are often formed during school years or when in sporting teams. During the time you are friends, you enjoy each other’s company, jokes, and chatter. The friend is important and makes you feel good.

Of the three types of friends in life, friends for a season are short-lived as, with time, we change and form new friendships.

3. Friends For Life:

This friendship is formed slowly. Usually, you have similar values and goals in life. A friend for life is with you, stands by you, and supports you in all you do. True friends listen and respect each other’s values and beliefs. Good friendships sometimes start out as a school friendship.

Of the three types of friendships, friends for life are the most meaningful. These friends are true friends. They are rare and invaluable.

How many times we said fake goodbyes but those persons were just more present in our hearts and souls than ever? Didn't we pretend we let go of people and things, yet in our deepness we knew we actually never did? And on the other hand, for how many times we secretly knew our feelings changed towards someone yet we keep doing our best to pretend it didn't, maybe because they are so dear, maybe because of our glorious past but in our deepness we know it's no longer the same, for how many times we let go of things we loved but we keep acting that they are still our choices. And the questions remain does all this mean forever? Will we fall again for what departed us? Will we let go of what enslaved us for so long? Will we say a true goodbye and an honest hello?

Love Watching You 💝

Who can resist a sleeping baby? As our children get older, and we get older the joy we get from watching them sleep is something that doesn’t change.

As they sleep safely in a cocoon of warmth and love. Watching our children sleep is one of the greatest rewards of motherhood, and a sign of a job well done. 💝

Who are the real Robbers? 🍂

During a robbery in America, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you." Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called the "Mind Changing Concept." Changing the conventional way of thinking. When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got." The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank." This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, the experience is more important than paper qualifications! After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves a...
