However, the more friends, the better, but the more expensive. If you make bad friends, it will not only bring you no benefits, but also bring you trouble. It is said in the Anti-Confucian Classics that there are five kinds of people who are duplicitous and unworthy of making friends. Do you have such people around you?
First, those who are honored do not love the people, are heartless and unjust, but fight violence with violence and become arrogant.
Interpretation: a person with high power and status does not care about the people and does not seek benefits for others. Instead, he used tyranny to exploit others. Such a person is not worth making friends with.
Mencius said that those who love others will always love others, and those who respect others will always respect others. Only by caring for others from the heart and thinking for others can we be respected by others. And using power to bully others and seek benefits for yourself will get into trouble sooner or later.
You have a successful career, he will flatter you. When you are down and out, he will stay away from you without hesitation, and even throw a person when he is down. This kind of person is too snobbish, deceives his superiors and deceives his subordinates, and is not worth making friends with.
Second, people who are rich do not rely on the poor to save the famine, but on extravagance.
Interpretation: Wealthy people do not help the poor, but are extravagant and wasteful. Such a person is not worth making friends with.
If you are poor, you will be immune to it, and if you are rich, you will help the world. This is the mind of a great man. When you are rich, if you only covet personal enjoyment and don't know how to help others, then you are short-sighted and can't achieve great things.
Such people are too selfish and lack empathy. Once in adversity, the other party will certainly not lend a helping hand. When friends meet, they don't want to share joys and sorrows, but refuse to help you in an emergency. It's no use making friends.
Third, the brave do not attack Wei, but invade the mausoleum in private.
Interpretation: Strong and brave people are not defending their country and justice, but bullying people who are weaker than themselves. Such a person is not worth making friends with.
In the face of injustice, a strong body is an advantage. At this time, standing up will make others sit up and take notice. But some people bully the weak by their strong bodies. For example, when studying at school, tall people often impose campus hegemony on weak students. Such people only know how to bully the weak and fear the hard, and most of them have no future when they grow up.
Kindness is a person's greatest advantage and the most basic bottom line. If you can't even do the word "kindness", such people should stay away as early as possible.
Fourth, people who benefit from their brains will not count in the end, but deceive others with things.
Interpretation: Smart people are not used on the right path, but on the evil path of crime. Such a person is not worth making friends with.
Some people are smart and learn everything quickly. If they are willing to do something with their heart, they will certainly achieve something. However, some people refuse to keep their feet on the ground, and always play tricks in crooked ways.
Touch asphalt and you will be defiled. Treating cleverness as a traitor will get you into trouble sooner or later. This kind of person had better stay at a respectful distance from others, and don't go too close to avoid getting into trouble.
Those who are beautiful and good-looking do not pay attention to the people by reunifying Korea, but follow the desire of women.
Interpretation: Good-looking people do not set a correct example for others, but confuse others to satisfy their own desires. Such a person is not worth making friends with.
In today's society, many high-value small fresh meats have a large number of fans. I could have used my influence to spread correct values and do something meaningful to society. But some people do the opposite, which is really regrettable.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When you have a certain influence, if you just want to satisfy your own desires, this idea is really too small.
