Friendship is the result of giving minus taking.
Hello, welcome back toTipsy Reading Life
I'm Wenju Zhu.
What is a friend?
Some say the definition of a friend is simple: 'peng' is made up of two months, so those who sit with us to watch the moon are considered friends.
I think another explanation is more reasonable: 'peng' is derived from another character, namely 'yong' (use).
A 'yong' (use) person can be called a friend. A person with value can be called a friend.
Some might argue that 'true friendship is like water?' Real friends can't be just about using each other.
The 'yong' (use) isn't a simple exchange of material. Its value also includes emotions, companionship, happiness, sharing, help and benefits.
You might have an ordinary family background and be a kind person, while he might have an affluent family and be able to provide resources;
You might have similar interests and personalities, or you might be completely different, but you all give each other something.
Friendship is a continuous exchange of 'yong' (use) value. When we don't communicate or interact for a long time, some connections will fade.
Some old friendships will fade. When you or the other person grows up, there's no common ground, and the significance of each other in your minds will also change.
To become a friend, you must be able to offer something to the other person, not just what you receive from them. The best way to make friends is to give first.
What is 'people network'?
Giving minus taking equals 'people network'.
If someone asks me, 'I can't give anything to you, and I don't want to give anything,' but I hope to have friends who can help me, is that okay?'
I can only say, they might be friends in your heart, but you are not their friends.
