Cardinal de Richelieu once said,
“I may be a zero but put to the right side of one,
the one becomes ten.”
Keep good company!!
The company you keep,
defines who you may become.
Good company amplifies you,
lifts you up when you are down,
protects you when you are weak,
catches you when you fall,
corrects you when you are wrong,
shows you the path if you get lost,
warms you up when you are cold,
loves you in a world full of hate.
Bad company diminishes you,
and ultimately cancels you.

Good advice that I always gave to my children although they did not always hear me.
Well spoken, leaving me mulling, forsooth, the concept thus delineated. Excellent point! Beautifully rendered with a haunting poignancy and excellent imagery, thank you very much for sharing!
