Never Keep Bad Friends
(Last Updated On: July 3, 2023)

We all know the phrase ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed.‘ For every human friendship is necessary to make life lively and interesting. Good friends give positive energy and help to make life successful. Bad friends guide you in the wrong way. Never keep bad friends because they will damage your life.

Moral Story – Never Keep Bad Friends

A man took a glass of water and kept it on the table. Due to some urgent work, he went out of the room. Near the glass of water, a bottle of poison also was on the table. Looking at the water, poison smiled and said, “Your life will end soon because that man will drink you.

Those words shocked the water and asked the poison to suggest a way to escape from this problem. Poison replied, “I will give a drop from me to you and that will change your colour. When the man sees your colour change, he will not drink.” The water felt happy and found a saviour in poison.

Water requested poison to mix a drop into the water to save. Poison mixed a drop into the water and the colour of the water changed. The man returned and took the glass of water to drink. When he saw the colour change, he left the room without drinking the water.

His action thrilled the water and said, “My friend poison saved me”. Water told Poison, “Now you can change me to the original condition and colour.

With a simple smile, poison replied, “Friend, I can only mix with the water, but I can not take back from the water. Now you are poison and not pure water.”

Do you know What Is The Difference Between Frenemies And Friends?

Bad friends damage your life

Some friends are like poison. We do not recognise them. They inject poison in our thoughts and actions. We trust them as our saviours. Without our permission and knowledge, their poison grows very fast in our life. We identify their reality only when everything is out of control. 

Remember, we have only one life and that is also short. Be cautious when selecting friends. Never mix friendship with the thoughts of religion, casteism and politics.

Don’t give priority to money and fame in life. Give priority to becoming a better human. Help others and brighten your life.

What is your daily routine? Wake up early in the morning, freshen up, go for a morning walk? Do you walk with friends, meet people while travelling and at work? The coexistence makes life what it is. Our sharing in this life journey belongs to no one in particular but all of us in it.

Need for friendship

You will meet people with different characters in life. Some are close friends with whom you share your stories. Sometimes, you get offended by your close friends. When they apologize do not shut them out.

Always keep in mind that the purpose of your life is to achieve a goal of peace and satisfaction. You cannot achieve this goal on just your own without the help of others.

Everyone has stories in their life, either sad or happy. If we do not share those stories, that makes it unlived. To make your life journey interesting, you need the help of others by sharing warmth, love, ideas and stories together.

Ultimate Aim

Your ultimate aim should be to become better yourself. To achieve that aim, you need to hear voices that are harsh, contrary and on many occasions unsolicited. That helps to test your conviction and position.

You must have heard the well-known saying,All that glitters is not gold“. The meaning is that not everything that looks precious or true turns out to be so. This applies to people as well.

Use your brain and a keen eye to separate chalk from cheese. At times, precious gems sparkle from the most unlikely sources.
