What do you want most in a friend?

Everyone needs friends in the whole life. What we want in a friend differs from person to person, some people want intelligence so that they can help them, some people want s sense of humor so that they can make them happy, and some people just want their friends to be reliable so that they won’t betray them. But as far as I am concerned, I just want my friends to be honest.

I regard honesty as an important element when choosing a friend because I think honesty is the basic character of a person. One of the reasons why we make friends with others is that we need someone to share our happiness and sorrows, and to help us get through the tough time together. Just assume that a person you are associating with is a dishonest guy who is always telling lies, would you like to trust him and talk about your feelings with him? The answer is absolutely “no”.

Maybe some person will argue that almost everyone has told lies in their lives, so if I insist to make friends with purely honest guys, the result may be that I keep alone the whole life long without even one friend. One thing I want to clarify is that what I am talking about honesty is not a kind of thing which is rigid and remorseless, the real personality I like to purse is frankness. We can make mistakes or tell lies, but we must have the courage to face them and confess them. And I do know that sometimes we have to tell lies because we do not want to make others feel upset, in this case, telling a well-meaning lie is necessary.

We all know the old saying that “a clear stream is avoided by fish”, which means that if a person is too honest; he or she may be rejected by others. But what I want to say is that if the stream is too dirty, fish can also not live in it. So I want my friends to be honest and I will keep honest to them, too. If everyone can keep an honest and pure heart when making friends, maybe our life will be easier without the labor to distinguishing lies and truth.
