Friends That Come and Go - Writing Essay 3

Friendship is a strange form of human bonding. It could be as strong as as steel; nevertheless, it could be as a fragile as crackers. It could be as caring and loving as bond between parents and their child; however, it could be as dominating and protecting as bond between the head and his or her employees at organization or work. However, there is no boundaries in friendship since external characters such as age, social status, occupation, or culture are not looked up when finding friends. As long as there is acceptance whether it understandable or not, friendship will always be strong and last. However, there is one kind of friends which is very dangerous: the kind of friend who became a friend because of others advantages and then leave his or her friends because of their disadvantages.

There are people that become friends with others because of their advantages. While this kind of friendship could bring benefit for both sides, since one side will gain social benefit and the other side will obtain the other benefit, it has tendencies to become one sided friendship. When the one who have the advantages have lost his or her advantages, his or her “friend” would try to avoid him or her; furthermore, his or her “friends” would become the opposite of him or her.
