Are You Known By The Company You Keep?

On forums or in real life.....I said this to someone once. And I meant it.

Do others judge us by who we "friend" or not?

Good question. What if someone didn't like my family, would that make a difference in the person's friendship?

I guess it depends on the reason you felt that way Adanac...can you elaborate further?

Re: Are You Known By The Company You Keep?

Good question Adanac.

Not sure I can give the right answer though.
I do think to some extent we are judged (or we judge) by the company someone keep - yes.

But another way of looking at it is, where does that leave those that deliberately mix with 'undesireables' so that they can help them?

An example of how easy it is to misjudge someone perhaps?

For instance, in a place like Alcoholics Anonymous....they would have to mix with people who have done some terrible things when they were drinking. If they didn't associate with them, how could they help them.

But then, what would I know, I have never had to be in a position where I questioned who someone was friends with.

Except when my son was a teen, I gave him a few lectures on things like this.

If you meant friends then can only aspire to be as lovely as some of mine. I feel so lucky to have such special people in my life. But I guess we all have a part to play in seeing the good in others and making others see the good in themselves.

Couldn't have said it any better, Muddy.
