In second english class, we came up with the question "what is more important between love and friendship?" it is hard to say because love includes some many things such as love for your families, your partner and your friends which includes everyone that is necessary for your life. However, friendship can exist between you and your family and partner as well. Consequently, in the same theme, I want to narrow it down to "who do you choose If you have to choose between your lover (including your girlfriend,boyfriend, husband or wife) and your friend?"
To me, I will choose friend. Maybe it's due to my culture because when I was a kid in most of movie I have watched, they praised and told about brotherhood. Thus, to me, friend is more important than everything except my family.

I personally think that friendship is type of love too. I believe that friendship is a love between friends; just it has another way of calling. So I think that both are very important in your life. I never want to lose both of them. But, if I have to choose, I will choose friendship over love.
I will choose friendship because I saw countless people near me who suffered because of their love lives. They always complained, suffered, were devastated due to love. But there were few cases that showed people who suffered because of friendship. Also there are many proverbs and maxims that support friendship over love. Lastly, when couples break up, I saw many of them don't talk to each other at all; they just ignore each other as if they didn't know each other. I never want that to happen. As a result, I prefer friends over boyfriend/ girlfriends.

I think friendship is more important than love too because it is hard to find a friend that can become friendly a lot. I think love does not take huge part of one's life but I think friends have more influence than someone who you love. Also friends can be helpful whenever one have hard time, so I think friendship is more important.

I think both of love and friendship are obbligato in my life. For me, friendship is more important for me, I can love my friends, and they can be my friends forever, for love, too hard to explain 'forever', loves can hurt people, friendship always save people.

I agree with Lin that friendship can also be love because "friendship" means a relationship between friends and friends are there to support one another, sacrifice for another, and get each other's backs. I think both friendship and love are significant. I believe that friendship is one of the branches of love. The term "love" can be defined as "relationship between people" and it can be distributed into several categories: friendship, girlfriend and boyfriend relationship, parent and child relationship, etc.

I feel like the outcome of wither of these choices will be the same. If you choose friendship, it might include family members, you can automatically gain love. If you choose love, the person you love will obviously be counted as your friend.

i believe love is more important. when my friends or other people asking me those kind of questions, i always say that love is important. my friendship will not break even though i chose that. friendship is understanding. so i can tell love is more important.

I agree with Lin that friendship is a type of love too, but before you saying that you choose friends over love, you need to look at the different point of view as well mate. You may say "oh of course I choose friends over love" but how can you be so sure that your friends going to choose you over their love too?
So as Lin said, friendship is also a type of love but to choose between you lover and friendship..you better think wisely.

I agree with what above people are saying that friendship and love are sort of similar, but I would say that there is a definite difference between them. I think both of them are great, so it is really difficult to choose one. Because, friends are ones who you want to keep next to always, and I wouldn't want to betray them by choosing love over friends. However, even though I also never had a person whom I love or been loved passionately by anyone, I think it would be fascinating to know that someone really loves me. Still I choose friendship over love. I get so many kinds of help from my friends, especially psychologically.

To me, it really depends. It depends on the people. If i have to choose between a really close friend and a superficial love, I would choose friendship. However, if i had to choose between a friend that I just say hi walking down the hallway (I'm not trying to be offensive here) and someone I'm going to spend my while life with, I would choose love.

I agree with Lin.I think the friendship is one way of love.Observably, I will choose the friendship.Because it is hard to meet a soulmate in our life but if you find one.One is enough for you.Here is a saying,"“What do you think my chances might be of finding a soul mate in the group of you? I'll be lucky if I can just find someone who'll be able to stand me for the rest of our lives. What if I've already sent her home because I was relying on some sort of spark I didn't feel? What if she's waiting to leave me at the first sign of adversity? What if I don't find anyone at all? What do I do then, America?” ― Kiera Cass..Friend is when you get into troubles who first helps you;friend is when you are sad who will make you comfortable.These the reason why I choose friendship

Why...why...haha. I'll be very straightforward with my answer. I think friendship is more important than love until I get married. Right now, I would care more about my friendship because although I feel like my girlfriend is the most important person in my life, it isn't true since teenage love often lasts short. Friends, on the other hand, will always be there for you, especially best friends. So I think having trustworthy and loyal friends is very valuable for me. However, this is a cultural thing but after I get married, I would care only about my household as a husband and a father. Therefore, in that case, my relationship between family members and me should be a priority (love) than my friends. Then, of course, friendship would come next. I'm very happy because I know that my best friends will always be there for me for the rest of my life.

I think love is more important. Friend ship is more easy to break if compare with love because it is kind a weak. Friend ship can be love but it cannot be unconditionally love.

This is a really tricky question but if I really have to choose one from the two in a matter of life or death, I would choose my loved ones. To be honest, I feel more affections towards the people I love than my friends and I personally believe that this would be the same for everyone else too. Friendship is a matter of establishing a relationship with someone who can sympathize with you, understand you well whereas love is a matter of a relationship without question, one that is simply there because it is. And not only that, but I think I'd feel far more guilt if I choose my friends' lives over my loved ones' lives because of the difference in the intensity of emotion I feel for them.

hmm, I can't really answer it or take an exact side because I also come from society where friendship is valued unimaginable, thus i don't really know what to choose. Although, real and true friends know you forever and you are like a brother to them, choosing lover over friendship would not mean that you don't love your brothers or pick girlfriend over them, it should not be looked in that way. Most people want family and have a kid, but can you build a family with your friends? I mean they are your family, but a family of your own with a kid. If one of my friends was to choose love over friendship in a serious relationship stage I would understand and support him or her because it does not mean his or her girlfriend is important, it just shows that 2 people love each other to the point when they are ready to take a big step in their life, I would rather sit back and support them, rather than argue bros before ho...
