Be A Companion With the Wise, Association with Fools Makes You One

It is better to walk with wise men than self-confident fools. Since we are human we can be influenced by being around certain people or situations long enough. Hearing the wise speak and knowing their general intentions concerning most things, you will subconsciously mimic them because of association. Then we could spend time with the foolish person or people too long, and become a fool, as per today’s scripture. We are taught by others whether we intend to be or not through observation, it’s our make-up. These facts are backed by the bible and normal life experiences. There’s more to life than learning about it from a book. Life experiences can be the best teacher, more so for those of us who are more visual learners than book smart learners. Hands on learning is far better than reading a book and doing what it says, especially without any human explanation of what was read. Spend time with the wise and you will become wise.
