Everyone is an individual. In this society, it is inevitable that there are many things that we cannot do by ourselves. If you have many friends, maybe when you need help, one of your friends will happen to be relevant. The resources may help you solve the problem in time. A friend is the person who will stand up and support you without saying a word when you are in trouble. So it’s easier to travel when you have more friends! As the saying goes, "A fence has three stakes, a hero has three gangs." Life is inseparable from friends, and their friendship and support are indispensable.
Be careful when making friends. No matter what type of person you make as your friend, be careful. "A person who is close to vermillion is red, and a person who is close to ink is black." This long-standing famous saying vividly illustrates the importance of "making friends carefully". It is the experience of the ancients. It is true that it is true. How a person's friends are, how they feel about themselves. Development often plays a big role. This is an invisible, subtle, nurturing and contagious force.
Who are the best friends to make? The ancients said: "Three friends are beneficial, and three friends are detrimental. Friends who are straightforward, understanding, friendly, and knowledgeable are beneficial; friends who are secluded, friendly, and sycophantic are detrimental." That is to say, making friends with honest, trustworthy, and knowledgeable people will bring great benefits; making friends with those who are flattering, evil-minded, and flashy will bring harm.
Treat friends. Don’t refuse if you can help, don’t promise if you can’t help, and don’t lie if you don’t want to help. A true friend is someone you trust in critical moments and someone you ask for help in difficult times. Doing favors for your friends is your duty, but making blind promises or even lying to your friends is harming the other person, because they will make mistakes because they are counting on you. If you make a mistake about a trivial matter, it is harmless; if you make a mistake about a major matter that affects human life, then you are doing something wrong.
