1月16日 101218NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Two persons cannot be friends if one is richer than the other.
People all around the world make friends out of diverse consideration. Some are for fame, some are for success, some are for money, and the rest of us make friends just because we like them. Although friends usually have things in common, like goals, character and such, there are also many differences between them, for example, the property.
Sometimes it is true that two persons cannot be friends if one is richer than the other. They live in different life styles. The richer one may buy clothes from Chanel,watches from ROLEX, and jewelry from Cartier, while the poor one can only afford things with ordinary brands. As they are unfamiliar with each other’s life, they probably don’t have much mutual topics.
Anyway it is hardly true that two persons always cannot be friends if one is richer. First of all, two persons may be attracted to each other’s character and thus become friends. Take an example from the movie Spiderman. Harry Osborn is a handsome rich guy with curly dark brown hair whose father is the president of Osborn Manufacturing Company. Peter Parker is a poor but clever man, with a bit nerd look at first. Harry admires Peter’s talents in study and genuine personality while Peter thinks Harry is funny and wise. Thus they become very good friends. They share daily experience and chat about career goals, sometimes even love affair. Although they have different life styles, they are pleasant to get along with each other. What’s more, if two persons have the same career goals, they can also become good friends. Take an example of Marx and Engels. Marx was from a middle-class family while Engel came from a wealthy family. They were both interested in Philosophy. After Marx was expelled from France by the interior minister, he emigrated to Brussels in Belgium. Engels moved there afterwards. They started to write the famous book , a political pamphlet that has since come to be commonly known as The Communist Manifesto. During their work, they developed their friendship which would last for their life. Sometimes when Marx ran out of money, Engels would lend to him without any hesitation. Eventually, The Communist Manifesto was published. The book laid out the beliefs of the Communist League. My last point is that mutual experience can lead to friendship. When I was in college, I met a roommate who came from a wealthy family. At first, I could get used to her living habits, like having desserts in the afternoon, buying clothes with good brands. I thought that we are persons from two different worlds and I didn’t expect to develop a friendship with her. As time went by, we went through difficulties together, shared important moments together. Friendship was developed between us. I could understand her more than before and was also adapt to her living habits.
In sum, even if one of the two persons was richer than the other, they can still develop a long-lasting friendship. |
