It was said that Buddha once mentioned having a noble friend(s) is not half, but the whole of a person's spiritual life. Choose your friends wisely. They either help you or hinder you on your spiritual path. Associate with friends who adhere to the five/eight precepts, impart wholesome values, cultivate virtues and have good character development. Their highly positive energies will help uplift you to pursue loftier goals and aspirations. On the other hand, associating with the wrong company can drag you down by influencing you with mental defilements, unkind speech and unwholesome deeds. Such negative energies can further be compounded by indulging with vices. Hence, one has to use one's wisdom and discernment whether to continue associating with the right group of company. However choosing and dropping friends might be easy, but you cannot easily do that for family members and relatives. When it comes to such situations, do not judge or criticise others as we are all evolving at different rate. Perhaps the best thing is to continue to socialise but reduce your frequency of engagement. And for those of you who know about energy work, just do some cleansing and energising should put you in good steed.
