3. Friends matter
• Proverbs 27:9-10 NLT
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.
Never abandon a friend – either yours or your father's. When disaster
strikes, you won't have to ask your brother for assistance. It's better
to go to a neighbour than to a brother who lives far away.

He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools
will be destroyed.

Rise above and establish boundaries

Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on
fire?
