Q: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends.
A: Friendship is the development of a strong relationship with another person. It means to be there when the other needs us, and to be willing to help each other out, no wonder exists the saying “With a friend the joys multiply, and the griefs divide”.
Obviously, the bond of friendship increases over time and the more two people spend a pleasant time together, the more this bond became stronger. The consequence is that people after long years of friendship develop a connection so strong that became almost impossible to destroy, even if the path of their lives tear them apart. For example, that is what happened to me and my old friends. Since the first year of high school we used to spend every weekend together, and when college started our daily routine absorbed us and now we do not see each other so often, but that does not mean that we are not friends anymore. On the contrary, every time we can we arrange to and the bond between us it is still there, nothing has really changed.
If it is true that true friendship lasts together, it is also true as time passes, we meet other people and we make new friends, and that is fine too. Having new friends does not imply that we forget the old ones, but simply that now we other people who create pleasant memories and spent beautiful moments together. Again, I have experienced recently being close to a colleague of mine at the point that we always hung out after works. She revealed being a wonderful person and it is nice to have the chance to spend time with her, but that does not mean that I do not want to hang out with my friends anymore.
In conclusion, I disagree with the statement for which it is more important to keep an old friend that makes a new friend. Friendship is not just about the time that you spend with a person, but the memories that you make with her.
