In My opinion, Friends is something that everyone can have, it doesn’t matter how poor or rich someone is. The spark of friendship starts the minute you talk to a stranger, and the friendships are built up between each other by getting to know the basics of each other, and as the more you know them the deeper the friendship gets. That’s how best friends are developed, people rate their friends based on how much they know them, as Aristotle had said there are types of friends: friends of virtue, friends of pleasure, friends of utility. Friendship of virtue is when two friends think what’s good for each other, rather than just thinking of pleasure or the benefits that you can get out of the friendship, for example when your friend tells you to start to work out or lose weight, your friend is thinking what’s best for you because being overweight is a serious risk to people’s health. Friends of virtue are like the friendship between couples, because both love each other so much, and want what’s good for each other without thinking or expecting anything in return. A perfect friendship as Aristotle describes it, but a little different because Aristotle believes that man and woman can’t be in a perfect relationship because man and woman are not equal, so perfect friendship cannot happen but I believe it can, to be it is like wife and husband, it can be perfect if it is with one person because it requires time and effort.
Friends of utility are friends who are only friends because of a task or a thing that both shares and it ends when the task is over or finished. For example, when doing a group assignment and the teacher place you with three different people to complete the project, the four of you will be friends through the duration of the project, of course, been placed in one of the Category doesn’t mean it can go to a different category after all friends are something build up over time just like trust. Lastly, friends of pleasure are also known as friends with benefits. The only reason that I left this one last because I have a sad story to tell, “This is the reason why they form and dissolve friendship rapidly, the friendship changes with the pleasurable object and such pleasure changes quickly” ( Aristotle). It was a hot summer day, going outside and riding a bicycle to enjoy the summer breeze seems like a good idea, but Mobile Legend seems more attractive. A video game that I found last year on the iPhone that attracted most of my attention. In the game, there is something called in-game voice chat where you can communicate with your teammate and form strategies that would ultimately lead you and your team to victory. As I was laying on my bed, and playing the game, I turned on Voice chat( in-game), normally I wouldn’t do that because it is just awkward, but out of interest I did it. It was a female voice, it was like the sweetest voice I have ever heard, and I and she quickly became friends. Friends with benefits, we are only friends because we find pleasure in each other. We have been friends for a year but as I played fewer games with her, she started to lose interest because I no longer can give her the pleasure that I once could give and we ended up breaking up, and no longer did I talk to her again. No longer do I want to be a friend of a benefit to anyone because when we stop talking to each other, my heart shattered into pieces and is piercing out of my skin, I was dying, the light was gone, I’m a zombie that has a beeping heart.
