Make No Friendship with the Angry
Do not befriend a hot-tempered person, and do not go with one given to anger.
Am I unknowingly taking on the grain of the people I keep near me?
📝Reflection
Stay near someone long enough and their tone and temper rub off on you. Beside one quick to anger, you soon find yourself sharp over trifles. This verse is not to hate anyone but to choose, for yourself, whom you will grow to resemble. It is exactly the saying: draw near ink and you turn black. Choosing whom to keep close is, in the end, choosing which self you will become.
