Bad companions

        What can we learn from the problems we have faced through time? Would it be possible for us to learn anything from them? If we take certain aspects of life into account, we might learn about both good and evil, as well as how to distinguish between them. This speculation sounds like lessons from coaches or similar “experts”, and evokes obvious things.
         We can learn lessons from everywhere. Throughout my life, I have learnt from the information I get from readings, seeing, hearing and reflecting, if I can take some advantage of it for my own benefit. In my opinion, this is a powerful skill for our mindset. When we read, see, hear or reflect on any information, we learn to set up strategies for our future or to prevent unexpected events. We are always marketing ourselves.
        We might consider that good people try to meet good people and bad people their partners. If good people look for those who are bad, are they trying to turn them into good people? And vice versa? Would good people look for bad people to be bad as well? Or would bad people look for good ones to boycott them? Of course, this speculation raises some questions: what are good or bad people? It depends on each person’s perspective.
       Our friends have different behaviours and personalities, and we share our lives with various thoughts and concepts, while we try to preserve our “goodness”. By the way, bad people believe in their “goodness” too, and don’t see their evil; perhaps they imagine themselves as vigilantes. Good people act to challenge this evil; somehow, good people and bad people depend on each other.
       When we go to shady places, it’s like entering a filthy and smelly environment, and eventually we get used to it or naturalise the evil. In our society, people often classify others as bad or very bad and good or very good. If it is possible to say,
        Bad companions don’t offer life lessons. I believe that life lessons are about understanding our neighbours’ behaviour, and not trying to change it. In conclusion, bad companions don’t teach us anything, and we mustn’t be like them. I believe that those who comprehend the concept of humanity can understand this.
        Furthermore, some people praise honest people to distinguish them from the rest. In fact, this behaviour shouldn’t be seen as the norm for everyone, because honesty is usually expected. When I see some people praising obvious things, I see the failure of our society. We have always had to condemn bad qualities as a personal accomplishment.
          In short, bad companions are among us, and we get used to their “smell” as if we were in a market to buy beautiful things, and we need to experience the scent of things that we scorn.
         Bad friends are not life lessons, and it’s absurd to share our lives with them. And we must think about this. Bad people must enjoy themselves. You’re not obligated to change anyone, because bad people will always do bad things. On the other hand, those who are considered good people are not truly good; perhaps they are not so bad as to be called bad.
