A description of a strong friendship in connection to Aristotle's three types of friendship is exemplified in the following manner:
- My strongest friendship began by chance when we were classmates at a language institute.
- We began to admire each other after a class where we expressed our opinions on different topics.
- Even if we don't agree in everything, we respect each other's point of view and opinion. We admire each other's knowledge and life experiences.
- <u>We do not need to talk every day</u>. Whenever we do talk, it feels as if no time has passed, since our feelings and admiration never change.
- I think Aristotle would describe our relationship as the third type of friendship.
- We are not friends because we want something from the other or just because we enjoy the other's company.
- We are friends because we respect, love, and admire each other's character. We wish only good things for each other.
- Greek philosopher Aristotle described three types of friendship. They are based on: utility, pleasure, and virtue.
- Friendship of utility means you are friends with someone because of what that person can give you or do for you.
- Friendship of pleasure means you are friends with someone because you enjoy their company. It often involves doing an activity together, such as playing a sport.
- Finally, friendship of virtue means <u>you do not want anything from the other person.</u> You are friends because you admire each other's character and you wish only the best for each other.
