Walk With Good Friends
If you find a wise and good companion, fit to walk with, then, overcoming all dangers, walk with him gladly and mindfully.
Does the friend beside me lead me to a better self, or to a cloudier one?
📝Reflection
The same scripture that earlier said "walk alone like a rhinoceros horn" here says "walk with good friends." It is no contradiction. The key is "what kind of friend." If you find a wise and good companion, walking together is better; if not, better to walk alone. A friend is another mirror that reflects us. Beside a good friend we grow clearer; beside a clouded one we cloud without noticing. With age this choice matters more. As remaining time shrinks, whom we spend it with decides what kind of person we live and die as. To choose well the one to walk with — that is life's quietest yet greatest choice.

After spending time with someone today, quietly feel: "Did my mind grow clearer or cloudier after being with them?" That feeling tells you the good friend.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
