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.

I hope you find peace in accepting that "just because it's beautiful, doesn't mean it's meant for you." And in the end, I hope you still believe that your heart, your feet, and your dreams will eventually find a place where they truly belong.

The truth is that people believe they know you, that you're okay or that you're in a position where you're proud of yourself and optimistic about how things are going for you. They believe you're fine because they interpret things based on their perception and connect certain facts they believe they are comfortable with to paint a picture of you based on their vision, unaware that this is all an illusion. Because you are aware of how exhausted you are from having so many thoughts racing through your head, you are weary of showing empathy, you are tired of being the one who understands, and you are tired of the weight you are carrying inside your chest so you only divert on particular things in order to survive. And if you make just one error, all the good things you accomplished in the past is lost forever. Let people misunderstood you Allow people to perceive you negatively and incorrectly. You're living this life to be authentic and not to develop into a perso...
