I once saw an essay in Crazy English Magazine. It was about different kinds of friends around you, influencing your ways of life.
I was so moved, and I’d like to talk about it with you. What follows are just my own understandings of the essay, hoping there are not that many mistakes in the way.
Its name is A Season, A Reason and A Life Time, which focuses on differences of friendships. A season-friend means someone who may be around you for only a certain period of time, like junior schoolmates, aiming to please you with a way you two are both interested in at that time; a reason-friend is who can comfort you and cheer you up when you are daunted by some awful things , or just come to you when it's “necessary”, like being a painkiller when you break up with someone you love, for you may seem piteous as the way the reason-friend sees, or confronting a difficult task together with you, for it is a two-people task, which you have to do it with your reason-friends; the last one—a life time friend is the one you really love, or like, deep in heart, sharing not only things in common, but also things not in common. Hardness cannot depart you two, nor can any people, for you two have a “special bound”. Just like a cliché says, no matter what happens…
See?
Ok, everybody, was there anybody in your life corresponding with any of the types I described above?
