論交友(On Making Friends)
as a human being one can hardly do anything without a friend. as a matter of fact, you'll feel lonely without a friend. moreover, suppose you are in need of help, whom will you turn to if you have no friends? in any case, we find it nectssary to make friends not only because of getting help from then.
it goes without saying that everyone knows that a friend in need is a friend indeed. true frlendship results from understanding and trusting between each other. those who share your pain and hardship are your true friends, while those who are anxious to please you may be your false friends.
in my opinion, we have to stick to the principle of making friends who are honest and reliable, that is to say, a friend should be trusted and be depended upon.
