My buddy and I have been close for more than 20 years but he’s having second thoughts about us remaining best friends. He thinks our differences might become more pronounced as we get older. He’s religious while I’m not, he’s all about going with the flow while I’m still chasing goals, he doesn’t filter his words and I’m more careful about what I say, etc. Although we’ve had our fair share of disagreements, none have been substantial enough to lead us to avoid each other. Nonetheless he fears that as we grow older, our changing perspectives might affect our tolerance levels so I say great friends probably not unless you are a bit more alike or can hang out with limited communication. Compromising is great but hard to achieve. That’s just my two cents.
