Anticipation Guide Q6

"Being rich is more important than having close friends."

I do not agree with this statement! In my opinion, I would rather have close friends, and not have as much money. For example, say you just won the lottery and have 1 billion dollars. You would be rich! You could buy a mansion, or buy anything you wanted. Sometimes when people get rich, their personality changes and they might become snooty or rude. When they act like that infront of other people, the people might not want to hang out with them anymore. That could lead to no friends, and loneliness. So, you could have everything you wanted and still be lonely. 


“You can’t buy friends” is a good lesson that represents this topic. This is a good lesson because you can’t pay someone to be a true friend. It is always important to remember that a friend is worth more than anything in the world. 


But there are people who would do anything to be rich, they might even give away their friends for it. Those people could still be happy, just maybe not as happy as people who have close friends. What do you think about this statement? Do you agree? Or is friendship more important?

  1. I agree with your point but I can not imagine someone who has no friends but is happy. Plus, money is only valued in our society. But having friends is something that is important anywhere.
