What kind of friendships do you have in your life, in Aristotelian terms? Can you imagine one of your current relationships ascending to the level of a Friendship of Virtue? What conditions would have to be present for this to happen?
I have some friendships in my life that I could never imagine not having. These friendships have been important to me because there have been times in my life that without them I really don't know what I'd do. I could imagine some of my friendships ascending to the level of a Friendship of Virtue because I would do anything for some of my friends and they would for me, just like the quote I'd take a bullet for you.
When have you experienced a time in your own life when one of your core beliefs or an essence of your own identity was questioned or challenged? How did you deal with it? If you have not experienced this, how might you imagine a similar challenge arising in the future? Like Kyle, have you ever reacted to a situation purely from a place of emotion, without regard for the consequences? What happened?
I don't believe that I have experienced a time where my beliefs or identity has been questioned in the past, however I can imagine a similar challenge arising in the future when I go into the work force. As a woman there is judgement whether or not if you could perform to the standards of men. I could see myself reacting in a way of purely emotion because just because of gender does not mean one will be or do better than the opposite.
