Yes, according to the Sigalovada Sutta, good friends are those who guide us on the right path, protect us in times of danger, share our joys and sorrows, and help us grow in wisdom and kindness. They are supportive, honest, and dependable, always encouraging us to lead a virtuous and meaningful life. We need not be afraid of or hesitant to associate with those guys.
Thank you for participating in the contest.
