Some people think that friendship is the most important thing in people’s life, whereas others do not agree. They consider having a job more important.

In my opinionthe most valuable thing in life one can have is friendship. First of all, friendship is a part of human natureFor example, without it people feel lonely and sad. One needs to have someone to talk with, be understood, and share their thoughts and ideas. Secondly, there is a saying, “a friend in need is a friend indeed”. For instance, a true friend will always help in times of trouble, supporting his friends emotionally and practically.

At the same time there are people who think that a job is the greatest treasure one can have. If a person has a job he or she can buy whatever they want and feel happy.

I do not agree with the opinion about having a job mentioned above. It is said that friendship cannot be bought, which means that friendship is more valuable than money and a job that generates money.

In conclusionI would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight, friendship does not seem very important, but in actual fact, it is the most valuable thing a person can have. Thus, I strongly believe that friendship is the biggest gift of life.
