Causes of Break in Friendship
Friendship is one of the most important factors in people's life. According to Aristotle, "Human beings are social animals" which means no one can live without friends. Friends are a part of one's life story as they spend many of the happy and sad moments together with each other. For example, talking to friends cheers up people when they are depressed and trips with them make wonderful memories. However from time to time, some friendships may break apart regardless of how much they were close in the past. And I believe that friendship breaks when friends have different views or forgets the value of friendship.
To begin with, different points of views are the start of drifting apart between friends. People change depending on their environments of where they live and who they meet. So, having different points of views may be natural for friends who have grown up in different surroundings. However, getting into frequent fights about this make each other exhausted and to lose contact. I can give an example of myself. As me and my best friend entered different high schools and made other friends, we started to think differently. I became to like jokes but my friend hated them. We became the exact opposite and fought about not respecting each other's preferences. So we naturally lost contact and our friendship broke apart. Like this friendship is most about understanding and bonding of sympathy, so it may be hard to continue the friendship between people who have different points of views.
Secondly, disrespecting friends can cause break in friendship. People tend to think that their best friends will always stand beside them for granted, so they might treat their friends carelessly. For example, sayings like "Your clothes are horrible" can hurt people's emotions even though they were trying to be honest. Also, there could be disrespectful attitudes like showing all of their feelings. When with friends, people should know how to occasionally hide their emotions even though they are irritated. But there are some people who show they are annoyed directly by their face which makes their friends walk on eggshells. It may be accepted by friends if it is an occasional happening but if this occurs often, even best friends would get tired and leave their friends.
True friendship is what makes one's life rich by supporting each other no matter of conditions, about who and how they are. They are the people who most care about each other after family. But people might not know the importance of friends when they are all around. So, all people should cherish and make effort to maintain their current friendship before they leave. And I believe that friendship can go on if people only try to respect their friends and remember not to lose preciousness of friends as being deceived by familiarity.
