Some people think that the most important thing in life is friendship, whereas others do not agree.

soch 001 002
In my opinion the most important thing in life is friendship. First of all, it is human nature to have friends. For example, without friends a person would feel lonely, sad and bereft of a lot of joy in their lives. Secondly, friends are those who always help in times of trouble. For instance, there is a saying, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”, which means that with good friends one can feel safe and protected.

At the same time there are people who say that if one has good job they will be always protected. Good job pays good money and money can solve all problems nowadays.

soch 001 004
Well good job is very important for a person. Nevertheless, I would not call it the most important thing since friends will always help a person financially as well as psychologically.

soch 001 005
In conclusion, I would like to say that if we weigh all the facts that support friendship as the highest value against love, health, for example, family, we will see the facts that support the last ones seriously outweigh friendship.
