Philosophy--Fact---Fiction

Lets say that you could choose one quality in a friend & the qualities that determined your friend's life were Philosophical, Factual or fictitious, which quality would you want in your friend?
If you choose philosophical, your friend would have philosophies about life but may indeed be a thinker & not a doer.
If you choose Factual, your friend would make decisions based on facts & there would be no fictitious or philosophical decisions. There would be no spontaneous decisions based on instinct or feeling.
If you choose Fictitious, your friend would live their life in a fantasy world & wouldn't use any facts to support their decision. There would be no substance to anything they did.
As I thought about this & tried to think of what I would want in a friend based on these three traits & I chose philosophical because this person would think but would be willing to explore new ideas & hopefully those new ideas would include action to achieve the tasks they thought about.
There is no right answer, simply food for thought. VBS
