A friendship is built upon trust, respect and lotality. The moment we make fri3ndship with an unsuitable person, it bring everything in the brink of collapse. A friendships with unsuitable individuals can negatively impact and potentially ruin friendships with others. Such relationships can introduce negativity, dishonesty, and other detrimental behaviors that can spread and affect other connections. To highlight the same our aged old Sanskrit scholars has said :
अमित्र मित्रतां याति मित्रं चापि प्रदुष्यति |
सामर्थ्य योगात्कार्याणां तद्गत्या हि सदा गतिः||
Amitram mitrataam yaati mitram chaapi pradushyati.
Saamarthya yogaatkaaryaanaam tadgatyaa hi sadaa gatih.
Amitram = a person unfit for being a friend, not a friend.
Mitrataam = friendship.
Yaati = enter into.
Chaapi = cha + api.
Cha = and.
Api = even.
Pradushyati = deteriorates, gets defiled.
Saamarthya = capacity, strength.
Yogatkaaryaanaam = Yogaat + kaaryaanaam.
Yogaat = concerted action
Kaaryaanaam = deeds.
Tadgatyaa = tat + gatyaa.
Tat = that.
Gatyaa = gone.
Hi = surely.
Sadaa = always.
Gatih = movement, progress.
i.e. If a person befriends an unsuitable (mean and wicked) person, it results in alienation of his existing friends. Therefore, by avoiding such a situation, one should perform his tasks with best of his ability and proper planning, which will result in his all round progress.
Before making any friendship, decide if the friendship is worth salvaging, or if it's better to prioritize your well-being and move on. Cultivate relationships with people who are supportive, respectful, and encourage positive behaviors. Unsuitable friends may encourage negative behaviors, gossip, or engage in activities that the other friend might not be comfortable with. Always putting one's own needs first and not reciprocating effort can leave the other friend feeling undervalued. Constant negativity, complaints, or drama can create a toxic environment that negatively impacts the other friendship.
