Blogspot4: Science of Friendship

"If I had only one friend left, I want it to be you" lines from a song "One friend" by Dan Seal. I dedicating that song for my best friend. Whenever I heard that song I always remember my best friend.It's so amazing to have a best friend, right? I appreciate when she always here by my side. We always having fun and share problem to each other. We learn to face the reality of the world. My life is really so prismatic with my best friend. With her, I can take up new things and learn how to accept each other characteristics. She's the one who taught me how to appreciate little things in life and no matter what happen always pray to God. I learned so many things from her. Because of my best friend I'm stronger enough to face each and everyday. I met her when we I was a child, she's my neighborhood .Sometimes, I ask myself how people make friends for today change, can we able to stable our friendship through online networking site, and how can we mighty the communication we had the previous year without the technologies we have today in our lives. Is friendship is destine?

 I found an article entitled "Science May Explain Why Your Friendship Fall Apart" by Felix Reed.In this preceding year, our lives in this world invade by the new technologies. Felix Reed ask his self if the new technologies can improve one ability to support a circle of close friends. So he did  a experiments and some observation to make an answer in his question. And later on the answer appears to be no. By his observation, in our new technologies can't changes the strength of one's friendship. He described the Social Signature, it is to build the different social friendship. It has a pattern or a factor: time, have a finite amount of time to maintain the friendship; Emotional capital, requires to stable the emotions; and Cognitive Limitation, it's the human brain that are embedded in strongly interrelated In that factor describe that individuals social signature doesn't change over in time.


According to Felix Reed "The abundance and pervasiveness of new technological platforms and devices that can mediate social interactions would appear to suggest that we are not only finding new channels for communication, but that our social world is being enlarged and transformed." Our social world can be enlarged and transformed but in friendship it doesn't affect. By his observation, I realized that no matter how world be changed by the new technologies drive in to our life, friendship stay constantly. And never change the way we treat to our friends through the new technologies but our social communication can be enlarged for the help of it






I read an article entitled " The Science and Philosophy of Friendship: Lesson from Aristotle on the Art of Connecting" by Maria Popova. In this article, Aristotle give lesson that defined friendship in other matters. He stated the classification of friendship in three categories. First, friendship in pleasure, it is the direct pleasure brings in friendship. Second, friendship in utility, which you can gain benefit in a relationship. And last, friendship is virtue, it is the highest kind of friendship and you become a friends because of his virtue. We value friendship for social dimension and bring happiness in our entire life. He also stated in this article that friendship is such an instrument to our live to make it enrich.

According to some Scientist and Philosopher in this article that "friendship is an essential ingredient of human happiness". Life is morbid without friends around us. We know that all of us can't live without the companion of others. Yes, it is the essential ingredient to our life. They make us feel better to have a friend. Sometimes, friends can make ourselve improve as a person.It is our happiness when we are around our friends. They can cheer you up whenever you feel down in your sorrowful moment. Life we'll be meaningful with our friends.

.

No matter how this earth has change. Yes, I think friendship is destine too. Because God gave everything for a reason. Reason why me met our friends in our life today. Friend are the  people who sustain us beyond our family. One who stand by us whether we are succeed or fail. Give you a meaningful life despite of the biggest problems your facing. The one who understand you no matter how little things you are weird of.Never fail to make you happy. Love you unconditionally no matter she knows all your negative sides and accept you with her whole life. Its so hard to find a person like that. Never underestimate friendship. In life, it would be mournful if you don't have a best friend. So I always thanking God that he gave me a friend that what i have right now. I promise to myself that i will never let them go in my life.
