In one of the forums, someone had suggested that we must co-operate for essays and share our ideas. I salute his idea.

Ok, I will share my ideas with you about the subject. If I was going to write an essay about it, probably I would choose and organize them as below:

My Introduction starts with a direct answer to the question, for instance: I would never want to choose how much friends to have. For sure I will develop this idea to make a suitable introduction.

My reasons:
- Having lots of friend can help us to develop our character, by for example, being more in the society and communicating with more different peoples.
- Having more friends would enable us to choose the very best of them amongst the variety of options we may have, by more experiences we achieved in our relationships with them.
- We are aware that every person has specific abilities and disabilities. For example, someone is good at computers whilst someone else may not be. By having numerous friends, when we need help in an specific subject we may ask them to help us. (or something like that,LOL)

And the conclusion part is a brief summary of what I told.

P.S: Kitos is right about the whole thing, I did it because I intended to give some clues to you for your writing.

Thank you Kitosdad and Mixmixi for your advice.
I certainly will write essays by myself, but to start writing I really need your helps. The best example is right here. When I created this topic, I had some ideas like Mixmixi's. But, I couldn't start it, because of the above problems. But for now, I think I can write a very brief essay.

Number of friends that someone would like to have:
Having friends is one of the God's affairs to humanity. Having so many friends seems good, if they have the near similar thoughts and behaviors like you. Peoples are different and finding those who could go along with you is pretty hard. Therefore, I think at first we need to have lots of friends, and spend some times with them to know them a little more. After then selecting the bests are the key factor. But for the rest, it would be OK to have them.
Of course we are not complete creatures, so we need to develop our skills, and improve ourselves. Friends are the key to know ourselves. Having a lot of friends could help us to see our reflection in a mirror with trust friends. More friends may put you in trouble, because they are friends and expecting your supports for many things. If you avoid them, they may become your worst friends, and treat you bad.
As I mentioned before, first having more superficial friends is the best start to achieve some experience of each of them. After then we can separate them, and stay friends with good ones those who have close things with us.
