If we cannot tell who is who it is more difficult to make intelligent choices about people with whom we asociate. All friends start as associates, then the association grows into a more substantial relationship. Sometimes learning what you don't want in relationships is as important as knowing what you do want. We know who is good for us and who is not. Our body tells us with symptoms. Sometimes we simply don't believe ourselves. It is time to stop ignoring what we know and make healthy choices. We all know we should not eat bad food. It is not good for us. Yet, we stay with bad "friends." Friends are food for our soul. Your article helps people choose good "soul food." Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights.
