What makes one man friends with another, while be an enemy of another? Why do we have friends? Is it personal feelings? Similar thoughts? Taste? Is it political? Peace treaties? Forced into a corner? Or is it the need to be social, to have allies and not be alone? Why do we have enemies? Is it personal feelings? Conflict? Anger? Is it political? War? Terrorists? Or is it the need to kill, the animal instinct that makes us raise our hands to strike others? Why do we have people we love and hate?
Friends are caused by special relationships with one another. Enemies are caused by arguments and disagreements, such as likes and dislikes. It all works in one piece.
Really I suppose there is no reason for it. A human could go through life without friends or enimies but it makes life harder. People naturally attach themselves to others to stay alive. No one man can win a war. People naturally make enimies so that they have something to hate. If humans didn't have this reflex the world would be a much better place. But there are those who only live to hurt others and there are those who live only to help others. But no one human can survive in this harsh world by himself.
I think friends and foes are made depending on how two individuals' personalities collide by either first meeting or throughout a relationship. Taste and interests could be a factor, it could also be emotional as well. Saying "it's how life goes" and then repeating the "people make friends and foes" is a vague statement, which doesn't answer the question. He wants to know why people make friends, and why people make foes.
People have disagreements no one thinks the same we are all different but i dont understand why people act like babys and blow up things cough'"terrorist"cough
It's really simple in my opinion. If people/things do things that make your brain(or body) feel good, you want people/things to continue doing that. If people/things do something your brain dislikes, then you try your best to avoid that thing/person. Weather that be ignoring it/them, violence, humiliating etc. Just my view of it, if I get the topic at all.
Sometimes it's because on how they act. They either have the opposite goal that you want and you need to stop them therefore making them your enemies. They may also want revenge because they killed your family and you want to kill him back. It's your feelings that tell you what is your enemy or not. I can tell by how people resopnd or talk. So the real question is, do they mean it? You can't tell by how they look on the outside or how they react. It's almost impossible to find out their true nature if they're your enemy. An enemy would be like a man trying to take your possessions. The truth is that the man may be desperate for money that he may want to help his father get out of jail for freedom. Now would you call that an enemy? Maybe if you value your possessions as your life. If not, then you may soon enough forget it and then get more by jobs. This is my thought.
I personally think we make friends to make life easier to go through. We find people who have similar tastes and find them interesting and interract with them. As to why we make enemies, I think its merely because we don't like them and really don't agree on what they do. Or something like that.
I think we have friends because we find someone that is nice company and little by little as trust builds you want them to be around more and a friendship forms. I think we have friends because humans are just tend to be naturally social. As for enemies I really wouldn't know, but someone's opinions and traits would probably make you dislike them.
I'll have to disagree there. If no one argues then we would progress much slower. Conflict is a driving factor in humanity. It's when we hate a person to the point that we'll disregard everything they say that the danger starts.
Conflict makes us stronger. It forces change and adaption. So the acquisition of enemies may just be some subconscious need to better ourselves. This of course is completely far-fetched and theoretical. Also, I don't believe that people would intentionally and consciously make enemies. This would only make life harder and would therefore be a negative thing. But when people have principles and ideals some people may fall foul of these and by default become enemies. As for friends, if you take it from a purely survivalist viewpoint (not the nice way) then you are being kind to other people with the expectation that they will be kind and help you in the future. It is really all just selfish behaviour xD
I disagree with the last part; it's not only a survivalist view that wants something for being nice. People don't act kind for no benefit, they always get something from it, either something like an object, information or service to something as trivial as a thank you, a 'warm feeling inside' or some type of friendship. We always get something from doing something. Having a survivalist view just tells you why someone does something god or bad, because they are trying to survive the best way they know. We can make friends to have someone to socialise with or to help each other survive. While we can make enemies to avenge some type of 'wrong' or we can make enemies to challenge or abilities against others. Having a foe doesn't mean that we hate the person; it just means we are at conflict, in a way; all of us here are enemies because we fight against others views continually.
I think that a lot of it is to be found in basic instinct. It is natural in all human beings to want to fit in, be social, and have friends, however, our need to know as much as we can leads us to wand to see the destruction of our own kind, at least a little. But that's just what I think.
Humans are social creatures by nature. It is purest instinct to make friends and develop strong social ties throughout life. Lack of these bonds will spell failure in life.
Humans are full of emotions. That's also what makes up a unique person. Even though the seven sins are envy, greed, lust, gluttony, wrath and some other, we are still compeled to make friends and enemys because we are social characters and we need to surround ourselves with them. Even though some people may wish to get away, sooner or later, that person will miss the environment they live in.
