INTRODUCTION

Everyone in this world should have at least one or two close friends, because friends are important parts
of our lives. A good friend can bring happiness, be useful for each other, and make one feels
comfortable when the other is around. Sometimes, friend can also have different opinions, and it might
bring up arguments. It can strengthen friendship by having occasional healthy arguments and debate,
because it provides the opportunities to learn from each other, to understand each other more, and to
improve the relationship.

BODY
An occasional argument between friends provides the opportunity to learn from each other. Two people
are not alike, and every human being is entitled to his or her opinion. Sometimes, we can learn good
things from our company during a healthy argument. A good friend will desire the good of their friends
for the friend’s sake that are most truly friends.

Sometimes, honest words sometimes are hard to deliver, because one will try not to hurt the other’s
feeling either.

However, when a friend tells us an honest message, we will know where we stand with our friendship.
Disagreement may lead to arguments between friendships as well. It might give us a hard time, if both
of us are strongly keeping our own opinion. We should listen and try to understand the perspective of
our friend. By doing so might give us a good way to solve problems. In the other hand, understand and
accept differences in opinion are a good place to start.

The most important is that we have to respect other’s opinion, even though when other’s opinions are
not the same as ours. A truth companion will tell us whenever we did something wrong and give us good
advice. Even though listening to honest words is not easy, but we should not get upset with our close
friend, because he or she is the person who understands us more than other friends, and he or she also
helps us grow better every day. One of quotes concerning good friendship that I found, in which he says
“What we say is important… or in most cases the mouth says what the heart is full of. ”

Our lives are changing increasingly by time. But good friendship would still remain the same. A good
example would be the friendship between Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. They have been best friends
since their early 20s. In the years they have been friends; even though their lives have changed greatly.
There have been men, fame, kids, and all the typical life events that they would expect, each with the
potential to wreak havoc on their friendship. Yet their bond is still strong.

CONCLUSION
Trusting is the most important part in a friendship, which means we feel comfortable to sharing our
feelings, our struggles in life with one another. And a good friend will not gossip behind our back
because he respects and appreciates our friendship. Occasional arguments are good for friendships. It is
an opportunity to bring two people together.
