It is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends.
I agree that people should keep on making new friends in order to enrich their experiences and broaden their horizon. However, while new friends will no doubt benefit people, the old friends who know you the best and can help you get out of the troubles are the one you should never forget or discard.
The dearest and most immediate beneficial people get from their new friends is to adapt to new environment quickly. When people enter a new class without any acquaintance around, new friends can tell them who is the smartest in this class, who like to bring snakes to classroom, and so forth, they help people get in the new environment quickly. Making new friends can reduce the loneliness and nervous come from the new environment. You can talk and play games with your new friends just you do the same things with your old ones, thus forget about the loneliness of coming to a new place. Thereby, they delight your new life and help you get into the new environment quickly.
With respect to the people who know you the best, however, new friends know you far less than your old friends. It might seem that your new friend know all the resent things happened on you, and all your thought recently, accordingly, they know more about you. However, getting to know a people not only means to know several things which happened on them, but also need a long time stay with them. It is a long process without any shortcut. Your old friends experienced a lot of things and shared sorrow and happy time together, so that one of you can guess the others’ feeling even without being told before. On contrast, because of the relatively short time being with you, your new friends usually cannot understand the whole of you, thus might often misunderstand your feeling. So, we shouldn’t discard our old friends who understand us the best.
The impact of help you get out of trouble might turn out to be another reason we should keep our old friends. Consider, for instance, when you feel upset, which one will you first turn for help? Since your new friends are right beside you, it might seem that people will first go to new friends’ place for comfort. However, for most of people, old friends who probably know how to comfort them turned out to be their first choice. Consider also, the situation you talk to your new friends about your trouble. On one hand, it would seem that they will help you just as your old friends will do. By the same token, however, as you only know them for a short time, are you sure your new friends can understand your feeling? Will your trouble has some conflict of interest with new friends while you don’t know? Suspicion such as these ones might have influence on your choice and make you choose your old friends at last.
In sum, happy time and less nervous feeling that brought by making new friends can only serve to people’s daily life. However, although people no doubt need to make new friends, they should keep in touch with their old friends. |
