Like-minded people are good friends
The relationship between people is intricate, like an invisible web. The ancients said: "Cats and mice don't sleep together, and tigers and deer don't walk together." This is not only the survival law of animals in nature, but also the profound truth in human social interaction. The way of making friends is that the values are compatible.
Everyone has their own values, beliefs, and pursuits. These inner spiritual powers, like a compass, guide us in the direction of our life path. When we relate to others, these intrinsic values act like magnets, attracting like-minded people to the exclusion of those who don't fit in with us.
When it comes to matters of principle, if one side is in favor of exactly the other side is against, then such a relationship is like a castle built on the sand, which can collapse at any time because of a small wave. Over time, what seemed to be a strong friendship will inevitably turn against each other because of the conflict of values. Such examples are not uncommon in both history and real life.
Therefore, if you want to be the kind of person you want to be, you have to be with the kind of person you want to be with. It's not just a choice, it's a wisdom. When we choose to be with people who share common values and common pursuits, we will be invisibly influenced by them and infected by their positive energy, so as to continuously improve ourselves and become a better version of ourselves.
In real life, we tend to be distracted by a variety of factors that lead us to ignore the importance of values when making friends. Sometimes, we may get close to someone because of a momentary interest, but over time, we will find that such a relationship is not strong and does not bring us real happiness and satisfaction.
When we make friends, we must keep a clear head and be clear about our principles and bottom line. Don't be fooled by the immediate benefits, but see the long-term development. Only those who share our values and can support each other and grow together are truly worthy of our deep friendship.
We also need to learn to respect the values of others. Everyone has their own way of life and choices, and we have no right to judge others as right or wrong. As long as their behavior does not violate the law and morality, we should give them enough respect and understanding. Only in this way can we build a harmonious and inclusive social environment where everyone can find their place and value in the world.
10. People practice in the world, and the knife is sharpened on the stone.
In addition, we must constantly improve our values and cultivation. Only when we become better and more substantial, can we attract more like-minded people. It's a virtuous cycle: we surround ourselves with great people, are influenced and inspired by them, and when we become better, we attract more great people to join our circle.
"Cats and mice don't sleep together, tigers and deer don't walk together. This sentence tells us that the way to make friends is to have compatible values. What kind of person you want to be, what kind of person you want to be with. It's not just a choice, it's a wisdom. On the road of life, let us use wisdom to choose those who are like-minded with us! Only in this way can we find our own home and happiness in this complicated world. At the same time, we must always maintain an open and inclusive mind, respect the choices and differences of others, and work together to build a diverse and harmonious society.
