Friendship

Aristotle claimed that friendship is“only possible with a few people; moreover it can only really exist between good people" (106).  But I question if that is a truly valid statement. The idea of only good people having true friends is an understandable statement. If you met someone and started to get to know them and then found out that you did not agree with how they acted towards you or any other people you would probably not continue to see them or would only remain acquaintances with them. In this manner friendships are more likely to be formed, and remain in good standing, if each party sees the other as 'a good person.' As for the idea of only being able to be friends with a few people: I believe that it would depend on how good of a person you are towards others and how many good people you actually are able to meet.
