It is better to have one or two close friends than to have a large number of casual acquaintances.
The excitement of having a large number of casual acquaintances has never appealed to me. The casual friends are, in my understanding, people you can have a funny conversation with, or some lovely guys you crooked up with in a evening party during the weekends. They are easy-come and easy-go in your memory. They may experience the happy time with you, but what about the miserable days when you find the world is dark and the air is still? During these hard days, more often than not, there enters another type of friends, that is, the few close friends.
Think about this, who is the one that listens to your romantic tragedy for three hours without going into raptures and still tries to calm you down, comforting you? You may come up with a childhood friend's name. And why you choose that one instead of the charming guy you met in the ball? You may come up with the answer that childhood friend know you better so that they can offer better advices.Unfortunately you've seen only part of the picture and fail to realize the true meaning and real magic power of a close friend.
Close friends are, the people we truly trust in our inner heart and those who can share happiness as well as sorrows with us. They are born to heal our broken heart with warm hugs and refreshing words; they are generous to lend us their shoulder for us to cry on, telling us don't be sad because after all tomorrow will be another day.
Each close friend are born to teach us a valuable lesson in life. They make us think deeper and see ourselves better. You may disagree on a certain point with them and you may experience fierce debates from time to time, but it is always after those seemingly unfriendly heated arguments and word conflicts that you gain a more objective understanding of the matter and your personal view. Take Marx and Engles for example. Although their theoretical views coincided, there were always debates during the creating of their joint scientific work and revolutionary struggle. However they are still lifelong partners.
Close friends have the magic power to change you into a more fascinating person. In the process to cope with your friendship , you learn to be patient, learn to share, learn to understand, learn to forgive and learn to cherish. Finally you are grateful towards God for sending them to your life.
It has always been a mystery to me why people in the modern world, who appreciate all these cheerful charaters(character) of close friends, obstinately pretend to take a enornomous (enormous) pride in making a huge number of new friends.
