Can poor and rich become friends
Can poor and rich become friends
Young or old, male or female, white or black, poor or rich, we all crave for friendship. A friend in need is a friend in deed. We not only turn to friends for happiness, we can also count on them when we have trouble. But can two people who have huge difference in the amount of wealth become good friends? In my opinion, it’s far from possible. To further illustrate my point of view, I present three conspicuous reasons as follow.
To begin with, rich people, especially those really wealthy ones, are not very easy to trust others. They are inclined to choose their friends carefully and have their own set of rules. When a poor guy wants to make friend with him, he will doubt that guy’s intention. Why does he want to make friends with me? Because he likes my personality or because he wants my money? With this kind of questions in mind, rich people are not easy to make friends. A famous saying goes, it is cooler in higher place. It means that rich people tend to feel lonely more frequently than average people because they don’t have many friends.
Besides, poor guys are apt to be envious of rich people if they become friends. When they live their own lives and don’t have much connection, they both live a happy life. The poor ones work and live with his poor friends and don’t feel sad about himself. But once he makes friends with a richer person, he gets to realize how amazing and luxurious that kind of life is. He may begin to wonder why can’t I drive fancy cars and eat delicious and delicate food? Why I am so poor? He begins to feel psychologically lopsided and friendship is gone.
In addition, when poor people need some money, they tend to borrow it from his rich friend, who is also more than willing to help. Seem like a good thing? I don’t think friendship should have anything to do with money. Money is a dangerous thing and destroys the pure of friendship. What if the poor guy doesn’t have money to reimburse? Although the rich
