9 19 It is more important to choose friends that have fun with than to choose friends that will help you when you need them. 21:19-9:49 57
Have you ever gone down names of contacts in your phone but could not even find one to talk with? Have you ever waken up during the midnight feeling so desperate but did not know whom to contact? Have you ever got lost in a strange district but had no one to pick you up? If you have had any of those experiences, you must have known the importance of having a real friend, in other words, a friend who will always be there for you whatever happens.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend in deed. A friend who can pull us out of a mire are of enormous importance as they gives us the courage and energy to keep on. On no account could we make it when facing a dilemma without such assistance. According to Nietzsche, an extraordinarily intelligent German philosopher, human beings are poor animals struggling alone in this lonely plant. Though great Nietzsche may be, I am opposed to this particular statement to a certain extent. However terrible and desperate situations could be, I believe the possibility to succeed, because I never fight this lonely life alone. When I first came to University of Macau to study English, I even could not distinguish “think” from “sink”. Local students whose mother tongue are Cantonese declared that they could not understand my English at all, for we are from different regions of China and thus have different accents. It is my friend back home who kept consoling me, assuring me everything will be fine as well as recommending me American TV shows which, by repeatedly watching, helps me to correct a bunch of pronunciation mistakes. I am not arguing friends I made in Macau whom I could go to parties and bars and share joy in life with are not good, yet only that friend could I share all the sorrows and helplessness. Only through the help from that friend could I pick up my dusted sword from the ground again and kept on fighting.
Additionally, apart from the enormous benefice and support a friend who can help you when needed brings, the difficulty to find such a friend also makes it important. It is possible and easy to find a friend who can share jokes and joy from you, yet so hard to find someone to cry together. By paying fifty RMB or several dollars and going to any bar, you can always find tons of people who would like to swing, sing, dance, laugh and even scream with you. But when you feel frustrated, none of them can hand you over a single piece of tissue. According to a survey conducted by the Peking University, one of the leading university in China, 79% teenage and 87.6% adults claim that they have plenty friends who could hang out with yet none of them could they confide to or cry with. Almost every single one of the students involved in the survey, however, shows strong desire to have a "real friend", in other words, a friend who they can share sorrowness and sadness with. In this way, the very rareness yet benefice of such kind of friends urges us to find ones to share burdens in our lives with.
Of course, there is no definite thing in this world. It is no denying that we always need humorous and happy figures around us to remind us the meaning of life. However, by taking how rare and valuable a friend who can in fact help you in to account, the importance of finding this kind of friends overweighs having a friendly who merely can joke around.
