Writing exercise

I have a best friend who can always say something simultaneously, I think that is unison of us. There is a proverb in China is saying, the friendship between gentleman appears indifferent but is pure and peace like water, I couldn’t agree more. The first step to be a quality friend is to respect the difference from others and keep some distances. If people always want to be passive aggressive to friend just because of the difference, they will never be a good friend. I am always open and positive to treat people, but when it comes to friendship, I will prefer people who has the same thoughts of friendship as me.
