There is a gathering of different types of people- wise and foolish, good and evil, honest and dishonest- in a society depending on which people lead their lives. The only thing to consider while choosing a companion is the quality of a person, which would make his life even better and brighter. Any immoral or vicious person has no chance to come between the two. There is no chance for a vicious or immoral person to enter. So, we have to keep ourselves away from bad company for the rest of our lives.
The greatest quality of a man is his character. There is a saying in English, “The crown and glory of life is character.” A man achieves the highest respect for his character. It is necessary to develop other characteristic traits while maintaining this one. So, we will have to develop ourselves through an honest company, not a bad one. A bad company turns a man into an inhuman being. It destroys all his virtues and makes him as vile as an animal.
People are the worshippers of truth and the followers of beauty. The main reason for stepping foot in the wrong direction is bad company. Human character is stigmatized by bad company. For example, iron is heavier in weight, and it sinks in water. However, if this heavy iron is tied with a plank of wood or any unsubstantial element, iron floats rather than sinks. In this way, bad company influences a person’s life. People change in harmony. Bad company is one of the main reasons behind a poor character. But the glory of life is declared through character. Only one’s character reveals the glorious quality of life. Nothing else can do that. Hence, the immense prestige of character is recognized by all. Good character is the root of which life enriches and makes a person respectable to other people in society.
The influence of an honest character on one’s life can be compared to a touchstone converting an ordinary iron into gold. The influence of good character supplants animal instincts with the aspiration of an honest and virtuous life. Bad company is one of the reasons behind people’s ruin in this world. Even after being careful, they unconsciously fall into bad company and are led to sin. So, we have to be careful in choosing the company.
Company
is the main determiner in developing a person's character. So, we all should
carefully avoid the bad company.
