Friendship, emotion, attraction, wealth, money and logic

Hello again after some time. Google brought me some new links and one of them is this one

Friendships - Does Difference in Wealth Hurt or Help?

and this is my comment to it, like it or not, it is so.

Well, there is a bias in this article. The wealth is a means of forming groups, if you are not member of the group then , of course , you cannot have any friends there, and do not forget, there is always one percent reserved for exceptions. But even these one-percent exceptions can be explained. So you can have basically friends only in your group. So actually wealth and money comes before friendship.

There is a possibility that a rich person, for some time, and sometimes for ever, will have a friend on a much lower social level, it is very rare but is can happen. Nevertheless, we must understand that any kind of logical or scientific thinking must involve the number of occurrence of a particular phenomenon, hence one or two cases are only exceptions, but the rule goes with the majority.

You may ask yourself how many friends you have among poor Albanians or among the hundred riches people of the world. None? Well, then there must be some bias to your thinking don’t you think??

The second bias is a funny use of the word “emotion”. Well, sure, friendship is based upon some kind of “chemistry” that we can call emotion. But, there is some need for explaining what emotion is, how it comes to being, and why it is not logical at first sight. Emotions are actually systems of prefabricated responses; some of them are really old and passed over by sexual reproduction, in DNA and ncDNA, mostly in ncDNA. There is no way how to escape the stored information, we just “obey” the orders our DNA produces. But do not forget that this information is constantly refined by experience.

And people from the same group have more similar prefabricated emotions, and therefore they will try to have friends within that group.

Friendship is similar attraction to a person as sexual attraction to a sexual mate. Every group makes its own inner system of signs in communication, if you do not master those you will not be accepted to the group, if not accepted to the group you cannot have friends there. As well as you cannot mate Paris Hilton because you will never belong to her group and therefore you will have no chance to have her as a mate or as a friend.

Real friendship is based upon equality, and one sign of equality is money, wealth and other status symbols we use for determining the whether one belongs to a particular group or not.

Try to rethink this phenomenon, maybe you will find some other, highly interesting aspects of hierarchical organization of human society.
