1) On the other hand I think people can survive without friendship if that's what they want. What I'm trying to convey is that friendship is a choice, you can choose to be in one of the three types of friendship or you can choose to live without friendship. The reason I believe that friendship is a choice rather than a necessary outcome is due to the fact that some people are more attracted to life alone and the fact that some people should not have friendships because they abuse them. “The parent seems by nature to have this feeling for the offspring and the offspring for the parent, not only among men but among birds and most animals.” (Aristotle, 2014, Pg. 1) Aristotle points out that humans, just like animals, need some kind of friendship, but there are animals that live alone. Let's take a bear for example, they go off on their own and live alone until they find a mate and begin the third type of friendship expressed by Aristotle. Yes, they find friendship in the end, but it goes to show that animals and humans are capable of living alone and providing for themselves until they make the choice to form a friendship of some kind. People are capable of moving into the wilderness and living alone, people are creatures of choice. We make choices every day and if one of those choices was to move out into the wilderness and never make a friend, that person would be able to adapt to that lifestyle because that is one of a person's greatest defense mechanisms. human being.
