What types of friends do we need in our life？

生活中需要的朋友

A Polar Opposite

和你世界觀不同的朋友

We humans are hard-wired to get together in groups and attack outsiders —the human pack mentality, if youwill. If you only develop friendships with others who follow the same beliefs,customs, and values as you do, chances are you're somewhat detached from the rest of the world, and you're more likely to perpetuate stereotypes on anyone who holds a different worldview from you.

我們人類天生就群居并攻擊外來者——這是典型的人類心態。如果你只與和你有著相同信仰、習俗和價值觀的人做朋友，很有可能你會與世界的其他部分脫節，你更有可能一直用老一套的觀點來看和你有著不同世界觀的人。

Instead of constantly surrounding yourself with like-minded people, try to break out of your comfort zone and be friend people who hold opposing views. They will help open your eyes to different world views and you'll learn to accept people who don't see the world exactly the way you see it.

與其一直和相似的人在一起，不如試著打破自己的舒適區，和不同觀點的人交朋友。他們會幫你看到不同的世界觀，你會學習接受和你看世界方式不同的人。
