Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Confucius said
friendship The company you keep: whether the people around you make you better or worse, and how to choose them.
On the topicDo you become the people you spend time with?under our view: So choose friends who are better than you, or at least your equals
There are three friendships which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Friendship with the upright; friendship with the sincere; and friendship with the man of much observation:— these are advantageous. Friendship with the man of specious airs; friendship with the insinuatingly soft; and friendship with the glib-tongued:— these are injurious.
