The mistakes of knowing wrong friends

In chinese proverbs, there is a wisdom which mention that one has to be very careful with what kind of companies one keep as. There is a very real reason behind this. In the past, a person maybe born rich or had a very good fortune life, however if such person had make friends with people whose intention aren't mean you well , the consequences can be very ill.

In older time, if you by chance make friends with friends who love to drinks . And their habit of drinking rubs into your life, you may end up growing up with a bad drinking habits . This  kind of friends may mean you no harm, so they probably ruin your life to the point of being a drunkard person . On the other hand. if the person meet people who intend to cheat the person money away, pretending as friends and later on bring the person to gambling . This person may one day end up losing everything he has for knowing a false friends.

Regardless what era of time our world has change, from ancients to modern life. This are one of the things that remain in human nature that there are scammers , cheaters and liars now as well as in future. And don't ever think that this will only happen to younger generations only. Even if you are elderly person, you are still liable to come across such situation. As long as the other person has a motive/ reason to do that (for example, they saw that you had some assets or cheating you will let them gain some advantages in future )

Some friends do really in a very long term are very much good friends. They will stick to you and correct you path to a better one. But some aren't your friends. And these are the people you should be careful over. Because you never knew what will happen in the future because of them. They can be the kind that i wanted to help you for a better life, but deep down in their heart they was actually hoping to trip you over. This is something i thought i heard from a stranger many years ago, so i'm not sure whether the other person know this person real intention are. 

I'm not sure about you all, but i personally dislike such people in my life. This is because once the wound is inflicted, the wound stays there even after a few decades has pass. As long as one know how to judge a person character correctly and wisdom to discern it, having only good and virtue friends around your life shouldn't be difficult.
