Aristotles Friendship

The dynamic duo         
Utility- The first example is when two people benefit from having one another around. One example is Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. They both need each other in order to do their jobs successfully. Brady needs Gronk to catch his passes and score, while Gronk needs Brady to pass it to him and move the team down field. When they are both on their game, it's a scary combination.







 Pleasantness- The next example is when two people are attracted to each others good looks or other pleasant qualities. An example of this is Penny and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory. Penny is attracted to him because of his intelligence and his chivalrous personality towards her. Leonard is attracted to her because of her amazing looks and her outgoing personality. At first look, you wouldn't think these two would make a good couple but they actually do, and are engaged for marriage.

 Perfect friendship- The last example is when two people admire each others goodness and strive to help one another to reach that goodness. A great example of that is Woody and Buzz from Toy Story. At first Woody gets jealous of Buzz for stealing Andy's attention away from him. However, after a scuffle underneath a pizza delivery truck they come to terms and end up being best of friends. In fact, later in the movie they are strapped to the back of a lit firework in order to save the other members of their gang. Slowly these two create a bond that lasts to infinity and beyond!
A classic combination

  3. I completely agree with the football players using each other. They are a perfect example of this type of friendship. Without each other they wouldn't be able to win any games!
