Occasional arguments are good for friendship relationships. The trick is to learn how to do it fairly. Occasional arguments help us to learn how to better understand each other, gives us room to freely express ourselves, and they don’t allow problems about certain situations to build up one after another. An argument is defined as a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action, idea, or thought is right or wrong. In order to have a friendship that works or is healthy you have to argue sometimes to better understand the other person.
Power of Love and Relationships Many aspects of one’s life can be seen through the connections between our loved ones and friends. Factors can contribute to how and why we may seek certain individuals, but not others. This paper will discuss in detail the factors of attraction, the reasoning behind the sense of belonging, and love into three types: companionate, passionate, and compassionate. Furthermore, depict Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love between romantic love, from empty love or infatuation. We may encounter numerous types of individuals throughout the day.
Pleasure being that you share the same hobby or interest whether this is gardening or a sporting activity, similarly to the utility friendship this is centered on something external to the friendship. The third category and the base for my distinction between a counsellor and a friend is virtue. This category is based on the theory of caring for some one for whom they are themselves, whom you enjoy and value their character and the things they represent. Within this category I define a friend to be some one you choose to form a close mutual bond with. A bond within which you equally trust, show affection and care for each other’s wellbeing.
Overall, there are some similarities between the two theories, such as the both theorists were form the same generation, meaning that they would have been both influenced by the same ideas and had the same resources to rely on at the time, so none were at a disadvantage. Also, they both agreed in their theories that self-esteem and concept are very important in terms of an individual developing and becoming the best they can be. The differences on the other hand are the facts that Bowbly and Maslow both did their research differently, Bowlby resorted to methods such as observing how children reacted when parents left them and treated them. Whereas Maslow looked famous people’s biographies in order to determine what life events they had experienced and how it affected them later on and also pursued interviews. And finally another difference is the fact that Bowlby looked at how in the past when an individual is younger how their childhood will impact their future, whereas Maslow was more concerned with here and now.

It is in our nature to open ourselves for others to be able to come inside, however, we have to love ourselves in order to be able to love someone else just as equally or even more. Others may argue, that if friendship is human nature then why isn't there more of it? Is it actually viewed as true friendship? We can usually see friendship in a various amount of places but the real question is whether the relationship is genuine or not. There are only a small quantity of friends that you can honestly call your true friends.
Friends is the key to a honesty life. I have two close friends like that. Both of them are interesting although they are difficulty. My two friends is alike in only two ways, they have a same name: Thuy Linh and Dieu Linh. In addition, both of them are frank.

It entails a fondness and appreciation of the other. It is about maintaining the friendly relationships within your immediate circle. This type of love tends to be motivated because the friendship is beneficial to one or both of the people involved.
