What types of friends do we need in our life?

生活中需要的朋友

A Polar Opposite

和你世界观不同的朋友


We humans are hard-wired to get together in groups and attack outsiders —the human pack mentality, if youwill. If you only develop friendships with others who follow the same beliefs,customs, and values as you do, chances are you're somewhat detached from the rest of the world, and you're more likely to perpetuate stereotypes on anyone who holds a different worldview from you.

我们人类天生就群居并攻击外来者——这是典型的人类心态。如果你只与和你有着相同信仰、习俗和价值观的人做朋友,很有可能你会与世界的其他部分脱节,你更有可能一直用老一套的观点来看和你有着不同世界观的人。

Instead of constantly surrounding yourself with like-minded people, try to break out of your comfort zone and be friend people who hold opposing views. They will help open your eyes to different world views and you'll learn to accept people who don't see the world exactly the way you see it.

与其一直和相似的人在一起,不如试着打破自己的舒适区,和不同观点的人交朋友。他们会帮你看到不同的世界观,你会学习接受和你看世界方式不同的人。
