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?

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?

A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER❗️ Moral Story Of The Day. A father sent his little daughter to spend the holidays with family members. When the girl returned home, he asked her. "So tell me honestly, did you enjoy your holidays?" She responded. "Everyone was nice to me apart from Aunty Nancy. She seems too harsh and I have a feeling that she hates me" He asked. "Why? What makes you think so?" The little girl replied. "Firstly, she doesn't respond to my greetings no matter how many times I greet her. Secondly, there was a day I helped her find her missing watch but she didn't even say 'thank you'. And thirdly, she never interacted with me like others did, and has never spoken to me before. She's so unbelievable" The father remarked. "Really? So, what is her reaction when you greet her?" The girl uttered. "She would pretend not to notice me" The father paused for a moment and said. "I think you're ...

Hustisya ang sigaw ng lahat Panghabang buhay na pagkakakulong ay tila hindi sapat Mata sa mata, ngipin sa ngipin Kung anong kinuha sya ring dapat bawiin. Death penalty ang dapat ipataw Para sa dalawang buhay ng walang awang inagaw Dapat na tayong magising sa reyalidad Ang tatsulok ay sabay sabay nating ibaliktad. #RIP #JUSTICE (c) Bernadette Manayon
