Most things are better new than old ones. But there are a few things that are better old. Old wine, old violin (of course, well-managed violin), and old friends. When you do social activities, you would meet many new people. The reason why an old friend is good during a conversation is that you don\'t have to make a story. You should continue to create a topic of the story so that conversations with new people are not cut off. For these meetings, I have to pay a lot of attention and I feel a lot of tired after the meeting. However, even if we take a moment of silence during our conversation with our old friends, our memories of the past will soon come up and we will talk again. I don\'t have to force myself to laugh, I don\'t have to look at the clock to see when it will end, I don\'t have to wear formal clothes and I don\'t have to go to a fancy restaurant. The longer the time we shared together, the longer the comfort I feel.
