Is Friendship More Important Than Love?

Aida:

So firstly, before I go on to what my answer is for the question, what is friendship? Friendship for me is like having another version of you. The general traits of a friendship includes similar interests, mutual respect and an attachment to each other. Friendship for most people is a combination of affection, loyalty, love, respect and trust. True friendship is when someone knows you better than yourself and takes a position in your best interest crisis. We all need friends. If not, we would be all alone in this cruel world. Having friends does not only mean having companion, but it is also good for the heart.

Next, what is love? Love is a force of nature. You can invite love, but you cannot dictate how, when, and where love expresses itself. It comes naturally. It can be unpredictable. You can even find yourself loving people you don’t like at all. Love is inherently free. It cannot be bought, sold or traded. You cannot make someone love you, nor can you prevent it, for any amount of money. Love comes in every aspects. Family, friends, lovers, or even strangers. For example, arranged marriage. In the end, we know that it may have little enough to do with love. 

For me both friendship and love are equally important. Without friendship, there wouldn’t be love and if it wasn’t for love, there isn’t such thing as friendship. Both friendship and love have their separate importance in life. So we should prioritise both equally because they are both important.

Friendship and love are two things that very important for human. Friendship is a type of relationship between two people or more who care about each other. But such a dry definition does not do the concept of friendship justice. Friends that know everything about you because they know us from we was a kid. Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. For me friendship is the most important.

First, why friendship is more important for me because friend always be with us when we got a problem. Like example, when your car is broke down, you will ask your friends to help you. If you ask your love one, they cannot do anything because they do not know anything about car.

Next, friend is a place that you share our problem if you fight with our girlfriend. If we do not have place to share our problem, you will get stressed and keep it by yourself. Friend can comfort you and give advice how to solve the problem. As we know, our friends has their own experience about love.

Further, every friend is important and their importance in know to us when certain situation arise which can only be solved by our friends. One can never feel lonely in this world if we is surrounded by true friends. On the other hand, loneliness prevails in the lives of those who do not have friends despite of billion and billions of people present in the world. It had been truly said that “A friend in need is a friend indeed”

In conclusion, friend is more important than love because they will always with us no matter what happen. Always be with us when we have a problem. Love is our future but friendship is everything.

They say that there is no such thing as love without friendship and there is no such thing a friendship without love. Is it true? 

As for me, i do agree with that statement. The fact that people can't love someone without them being friends first and people cannot be friends without love is definitely true. Don't you think so?

Friendship is a type of relationship between two or more people who care about each others. A friend is the one who will make your day better. A friend is the one who will stay with you for the rest of the day. You need to have friends because life without friends is like a mac and cheese without cheese. On the other hand, love is bigger than you are. You can invite love, but you cannot dictate how, when, and where love expresses itself. You can choose to surrender to love, or not, but in the end love strikes like lightening and unpredictable.

The question is, is friendship more important than love? Before i answer this question, let me explain a few things. Friendship and love are two different things. Friendship usually starts when we meet people, we greet them, we talk to them and from there, our relationship with people will grow day by day. However, love is something different. Have you ever heard about love at first sight? You can't predict love. Because it involve our feelings. You can be in love with someone you hate. You can be in love with a stranger. The feeling, it is indescribable. Only those who felt it will know.

So back to our question. In my opinion, friendship and love are equal. It is a completely different thing. But both are important. Therefore, it is equal.

This is not wrong statement if one says that love and friendship are alternative terms. Both have their own charms and the answer to their importance varies from situation to situation and even gender to gender. For a woman, love is everything. If she has true love in her life then she will never go for friendships (either male or female). But this aspect also varies because a few women want a friend (instead of love) to sob and to share life matters but a few women always prefer to share everything to the one they love. 

While regarding men, in most of the cases it has been observed that they always need a friend besides their beloveds in their lives because they think that the one they love can not understand them properly. In fact the reason is that a man does not want to show the weaker part of his personality to his beloved while he can share all the things with his friend (either male or female). 

So there is no hard and fast rule to measure the importance of love over friendship or friendship over love. Both can have importance from various aspects in one's life. But if we talk about regardless of gender and situation then we can say that if  the friendship sweeter then love is the sweetest.

Is Friendship More Important Than Love

Is friendship more important than love? We all have been stuck sometime between choosing friends over lover. Based on my opinion, both are important equally. Not just that we need to choose ones against another, but more to spent our time fairly with them.

It is true that friends can help you if you’re in trouble or else and so do your lover. For me, the easiest way to spent our time equally so that one of them won’t be sulking or irritating is that we going out all together. Which mean I bring my girlfriend whenever I hang around with my buddies. So that my friends will know who I’m dating with right now and my girlfriend can know who I’m being friends with.

Sometime we need our friends to share our problems with life or with lover and they can come up with a brilliant solution as they’re speaking from their experience. We also need our lover to be loved and appreciated or maybe our place to share everything.

For me, based on under some circumstances and situation, we have to choose any of them and make things clear so that they will understand your decision and perhaps support you. Thanks J
