The wise man said, thas has a thousand friends stil less when compared to having one enemy. This means that no matter how much our friends, we are required to seek the friendshif as much as possible. While having an enemy, even if only one, it's allreeady to much. Many of the benefits and advantages to having many friends. What are that the benefits and advantages? Would you mention it and share it with me? Thank's!

Yeah, i hate having an enemy- especially if we used to be friends. Good thing I don't have one right now. Having lots of friends is good since you have a lot of connections wherever you go- you would always have someone to talk to or hang out with. But then too many of them can give you difficulty in knowing which are real ones.

with many friends, we can get many alternatives when we get trouble or problem. i give you example, we had a friend who had known about computer, when our computer is not good, we can ask him, whats matter with our computer..

Yes... that among other things, but in my opinion is not like that simple, friends sometimes serve as a parent, sister, brother, even our soulmate...in the restricted sense! How do you think of that?

There's a lot of advantage in having many friends but the best option is having little good friends because quality is better than quantity. I don't have many friends but the little ones i have, im satisfied with them because they make me complete.

Friends can be very useful. You might enjoy the practical benefits of having friends when you suddenly need help for any reason, for example during illness or for transportation. (I never figured out how a loner would get home from an outpatient operation if they are not in a state to drive themselves, at least in my area where there is pretty much no public transportation.) There are also emotional benefits of course, but not everyone needs them.

Hello friends, I read every comment in this discussion carefully. The topic is a question for me too. I don’t know how to explain this other than to write something this way. I do want to be understood. I would never do anything to hurt someone or test someone this way but if it happened the way I'm discribing it happens. I am just saying I would risk making an enemy if I thought it could lead to finding a good friend. I want to tell someone off, yell very loudly and demand they give me attention and an apology if necessary, yet if they prove to me I am wrong can only ask forgiveness. I want to slap at them and if they then turn to me with kindness I know I have a good friend. When I am down my friend will be there for me as well as when I am up. Wait a minute, I do have a friend here in mylot. I know this might not be good ‘business’ in some circles but then does does it not depend on the type of business you are in and whether you are passionate about it or not? This is how I see it anyway,

Good day, friend. I am not the kind of person who are out-going and active enough to have many friends around. Sometimes I do feel a little lonely. I could imagine the benefits if I had a lot of friends. Then when I feel sad or angry, I would always have someone to rely on and tell him about my sorrows. I could get much encouragement when faced with huge challenges. We could hang out from time to time and have a lot of gatherings or other activities. Life could be more colorful that way. And also, my future career might also benefit from my broad interpersonal relationships. But everyone has different personalities and lifestyles. So I feel okay that I don't have so many friends. Actually, for me, several best friends are enough. I could spend more time with them and our relationship is quite close to each other actually. So just take it easy if you don't have many friends. If you do want, then just open your heart to others and share your views with them, I'm sure you can win wonderful friendship.
