GOOD AND BAD COMPANY

"Avoid Fraternising with people who don't share your values. Prolonged association with those with false ideas can only tarnish your thinking." Epictetus ( The great philosopher)

The human mind is a very powerful and fascinating tool. Apart from various other functions it also works as a receptive instrument that gathers information from all available external sources. Thus the people we choose to relate with and the environment we live in greatly influence our behaviour. Both good company and negative association affect our mind and produce changes that can deeply transform our behaviour, actions and thoughts. The company one keeps is so important, helping one become either better or worse in the long term. Anything that brings impure thoughts to the mind is a negative association and spending time around people caught in compulsive patterns can have a disastrous impact on ones life which lead to anger, loss of memory and reduced discrimination. It is extremely important that we cultivate the right kind of company and carefully choose the people we relate with. Only by building strong relationships with good company- friends, family and loved ones, will one be able to find peace and comfort and evolve in all aspects of life.
