When thinking of personal and social identities, I feel that sometimes differences in identities can bring people closer instead of separating them. It is true that similar people tend be good friends, but those with quite different identities and personalities can still attract each other. I can always see cross-age friends, for instance, an elderly and a youth playing chess around the corner of a street. When traveling in California, I also met a 9-year-old Beijing girl with whom I became good friend. Sherlock and Watson came from different backgrounds and have different specialities and experience. Still, they became equal partners and trustworthy companions and investigated complicated cases together. In fact, the differences contributed to their firm friendship and successful cooperation. Sherlock had extraordinary intelligence while Watson could understand social occasions better. Therefore, the relationship between human beings is not like the character of magnets(opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other) or otherwise. It is more complex and there is no definite answer or agreement. Whether similar or different, people all have chances to become good friends or soulmates.
