A Story of Friendship and Values

Note: I noticed that this is in the wilderness of the Internet, and I do not know the original source. I did not write, but I like this story. ~ CG

Imagine a typical story of a person in need of life. They cherish money rather than happiness, so they go to find work they do not like. They cherish old friendship rather than satisfaction so they will spend time with people who make them sad. More worse, they reject the change because they emphasize regular comfort rather than the uncertainty of making major changes. I will describe the life of a person at the peak value now. They value their own happiness, so they are working on their favorite work. They value friendship so they have a good network of friends. And because they respect personal growth, they are constantly changing and progressing with the times. This is day and night between the two stories. So it should be obvious that our values ​​will play an important role in how our lives are formed.

My goal in this article is to show that the possibility of not seeking friendship does not refute the valuable proposition of the relationship. The lack of friendship is possible because the value of friendship is a complex value that needs to be interpreted to determine which response to that value is appropriate. A legitimate explanation may be to treat your friendship as harsh, and others may treat it as not so strict. Therefore, if the demands of friendship is not high, we can not prove that the value proposition is wrong: the basis of the association duty is the value of the relationship they produce 8 There is no collective obligation unless there is value. However, if there is no related obligation, there is a valuable relationship as there is no necessary relationship between the value of the relationship and the related obligation. The appropriate answer range for the relationship value is wider than the supporter of the relationship view

Many authors believe that the relevant obligations and the value of the relationship are relevant. The basic way of thinking is that personal relationships such as relationships of friendship and love have inherent value and the intrinsic value of such relationships creates relevant responsibilities of the participants and they are mutually exchanged in various ways It will be a profit. Some authors emphasize that Lenovo's obligations promote precious relationships (see, eg, Raz, 1989; Jeske, 2008; Seglow, 2013; Pettit, 2015) It is an appropriate response to value (eg, Scheffler, 2002; Lazar, 2016). In any case, these authors accept "relationship value proposal" that "participants in social relationships are related to one another for the value of their relationship" (Seglow, 2013, page 18) .
