Quote by Buddha

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wil

Summary

This quote emphasizes the danger posed by insincere and malevolent companions. While a wild beast may physically harm you, an evil friend has the potential to inflict lasting damage on your mental and emotional well-being. Unlike a wild beast, an evil friend possesses the ability to betray your trust, manipulate your thoughts, and undermine your sense of self. Their actions can disrupt your peace, cause emotional turmoil, and erode the foundation of your relationships. Therefore, it warns us of the greater threat that wicked friends pose, urging caution in choosing our companions wisely.

If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love- You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. The negative ideal of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinence and not their happiness was the important point.
