I prefer to spend most of my time with my friends. I like them very
much. They are funny and intelligent. I can talk with them, aks for
their help, or share my holidays with them.
As a social individual, I think it is very important to have a lot of
social contacts. But friendship is not built in a few hours; you have
to invest a lot of time. Consequently, you have to meet your friends
very often and share their interests. If you spend most of your time
on your own, you will lose all of your friends and this would be
unfortunate.
Spending time with friends has various benefits. I think that life is
funnier if you have friends who accompany you. Consider, for example,
a journey to a foreign country. Most likely, you will not know the
foreign language and, thus, you cannot talk to anyone. If you have a
friend at your side, you have always someone you can talk with.
Having friends means also to get a glimpse on other parts of the
world. Most of my friends tell me stories about their work. These
stories are very interesting, because they show me the attitudes of
people in other businesses. Additionally, my friends tell me how they
deal with different problems, and their solutions might teach me how to
solve my own problems.
Further, having a lot of friends means also to have a lot of people
who help you if you need some help. For example, they can help you if
you move to another apartment, or if your car breaks down. If you
spend most of your time alone, you will be also on your own when you
need help.
All things considered, I think that life is to short to spend most of
the time on your own. Meeting different friends makes the world much
funnier. Probably, their will be a time when I am old and
alone. But right now, as long as I am young, I like to share my time
with my friends.
