Could you be good/close friends with someone completely different to you?

Re: Could you be good/close friends with someone completely different to you?

one of my close childhood friend turned into a big political GhunDa and a murderer, the local police was afraid of him. he killed at least 5-7 innocent people before he was chased by the provincial constabulary and when he found himself completely surrounded and shot in the foot, he climbed on top of the high ground and with his AK-47 he killed 3 armed forces men and then shot himself in the head.

two of his brothers were also killed within a few months. one killed by the police and the other one accidentally shot himself.

as soon as he committed the first murder at age 15, i broke my friendship with him. i met him on several occasions but nothing more than salaam du’aa.

the only benefit i got from my friendship with him was that a lot of people were scared of me to death just because of my association with him in childhood years.

i always try my best to keep the friendship for ever.

That must have been quite traumatic for you. I don’t think i could be friends with someone who murdered someone either. At least when breaking off a friendship/not responding one should give a reason. So other person at least knows. That is good communication which you did.
