.Agree or Disagree: Letting a friend make a mistake is better than doing or ??saying sth that might destroy the friendship. Many people often find themselves caught in a dilemma whether keeping silent or persuading their friends not to do something wrong. The difficulty of making a choice is due to they want to keep the friendship. To some extent to choose the latter one may let your lose a friend. On balance, however, I agree with the behavior of avoiding my friend from his or her potential errs.
I turn first to the term of “a real friend”. Helpness might be the most important characteristic to define it. If one is aware of the mistake that his friend will make, then to tell his friend not to do so is a must-do as a real friend, which might benefit his friend a great deal. Recently I read a newspaper article about a tragic automobile accident involving a drunk driver. The incident was far more from rare, however, if the driver’s friend had prevented him to drive under the influence of alcohol in time, this sever traffic accident would not happen.
Similarly, in considering friendship, to be faithful is necessary to keep the friendship in constant repair. If my friend has already predicted the err that I will make; yet he or she does nothing to remind me. Whatever reason he or she provides, it is a truth that I am cheated indirectly. You could imagine how disappoint my feeling is. How could I trust and consider such a person as my close or even lifelong friend any more? Admittedly, an inappropriate way to avoid one’s friend from making a mistake may have a neglect effect on a friendship, thus, to choose a suitable method is very important. If one uses a flexible approach to let his or her firend away from a mistake, their friendship will be much more stable. |
