WOEFUL SIDE OF COMPANIONSHIP
Companionship could have both negative and positive impact on human life.
Many successful people in most part of the world today had their success reliably on either the type of company they spent their whole life with, whereas many failed people in numerous places had theirs attributed to the type of company they associated.
These are different entities, but in all, you should personally know which company you are living with and their impact on your life at the long round.
Companionship is defined as company or friendship or the state of being with someone in a friendly way.
It is highly impressive how a mere friendship with someone may result in posing negative impact on your life and how same friendship posed positive impact on your life. Companionship is needed on our social, physical, spiritual, educational, health, and our political lives. The possibility of this thirteen lettered word having either positive or negative impact upon our lives in these sectors is diverse. Being in a friendship with certain people may contribute to our success whilst in others too, may contribute to our failure in life. It is most important to assess people you want to mingle with to note how their impact would end you as far as success and failure is concerned.
I know numerous friends who were involved in smoking and alcohol consumption because of the bad company they had in the course of their upbringing. Similarly, there have been variety of others too who have excelled because of the caliber of persons they moved with as friends. Metaphorically, it is not as easy as cutting a pawpaw tree to ascertain that companionship would definitely affect one's life negatively or positively. However, before the end of this article, you will get to know how companionship impact negatively on human life. Hence, the topic "woeful side of companionship". Normally, as an Akan language goes, "birds of the same feathers flock together," I have personally witnessed bad students moved with colleague bad students and good ones moved with those who are good. The bad always remain bad whilst the good ones always remain good. But mostly, people with bad attitude are very influential than the good ones. So most of the time, if you are not careful, you can be influenced by these bad people when you are good. Taking you back to my olden days as a student, I lived in village where there was no electricity and that I wasn't exposed to the numerous technologies such as mobile phones, Walkman, brick games, and the like. I was highly focused and for that matter and very brilliant because of adequate time I had for my books only. Socially, I disliked making friends, mostly bad friends who would always influence or pressure me to flirt girls, attend jams, watch pornography rather than encouraging me to pay heed to my books and even learn from me. Those friends who would make you miss your future aspiration through their bad nurture instead of helping you attain your future aspirations with their rightful nurture are considered bad company. On the contrary, those who may act otherwise are considered good company. Once I was able to determine that difference, I'm still on track towards my future aspirations.
As an experience young guy, I have been privileged to notice the positive and negative impact of companionship on human life. Having lived in a village where there was no electricity, limited my exposure to media like television, and having come from less endowed family background, also limited my exposure to certain basic technological devices such as brick games, Walkman, toy guns and cars, that would have consumed most of my time for studies. Having passed through the basic school through junior and senior high schools and now to the tertiary, I have personally noticed that companionship does not only have negative impact on human life but can have flourishing values on human life in numerous ways.
POSITIVE IMPACT OF COMPANIONSHIP ON HUMAN LIFE
1.Companionship serves as a stimulant for skills development
Children are curious and would imitate colleagues in performing certain skills they could not do once they are exposed to them.
The development of a child largely depend on the environment in which he or she lives. A child social, emotional, speech, and cognitive development may be reliable on other age mates he or she may be exposed to in the environment. It is because of this reason why parents who always keep their child indoors have their child delayed in certain developmental milestone whilst parents who do otherwise have their child milestone coherently developed because of the child exposure to numerous forms of environmental stimulants.
Also, a child who starts school early in life always become smart than those delayed.
Therefore, companionship is very significant in child's upbringing.
In a similar way, there is an opportunity to learn from our friends things we don't know even as in our adult life.
2. Some friends serves as Role model to others.
As much as friendship has woeful side on our social, physical, spiritual, educational, political, and health life, it can also serves as a source of role models in our lives remodelling. In reality, life is about been able to meet your expectations thus, having our goals or future plans reached. It very important to have persons who might have similar aspirations like ours who have reached the peak of their goals to learn from them. This can be achieved when we make friends with them. Personally, I have numerous friends who learnt to become much more time conscious because I'm time conscious and those who begin to study once they see me do so. I have also seen numerous friends who have really make it in life and I have tried following their steps.
3.Companionship helps reduces health related conditions associated with being lonely.
Most people become depressed when they have no one to share their problems and spend their leisure times with. For instance, one of the importance of institutional care is the reduction of depression, as the aged gets to meet and interrupt with other people like themselves.
As we are able to share our problems with our friends, we become quite relieved, with the mind set that half shared is a half solved, as an adage goes, than having no one to sharing our problems with. So it very obvious how companionship could help prevent certain mental disorders.
4. It serves as a protocol grounds for obtaining certain opportunities.
Long as we are human being, the likelihood of having others reached higher qualification levels is high. Some people will definitely be at certain positions which our level of qualification will not reach, and we may fall below them. There is always an opportunity for us in cases of job vacancy and other special offers once we have remained friends with some of these personalities. For instance, Thomas informed his friend Veronica about an ongoing military recruitment which he saw on newspaper. Likewise, Adjei qualified for the interview for meeting his previous friend being part of the panels, though he didn't meet the requirements for the interview.
All these examples provide clear indication on how being in a friendship with certain people would yield us certain great opportunities.
5. Serves as a vessel for criticism.
The practice of judging the merit and fault of something is simply criticism. Friends may act against our decision as much those decisions may have bad consequences and may praise us to perform, once what we are doing is the right thing. This is important to make the right decisions and learn from our mistakes which would not only help us achieve our goals in life but also become more resilient to different form of criticism.
