Read these verses from Part 1 of The Dhammapada. He who walks in the company of fools suffers a long way; company with fools, as with an enemy, is always painful; company with the wise is pleasure, like meeting with kinsfolk. Therefore, one ought to follow the wise, the intelligent, the learned, the much enduring, the dutiful, the elect; one ought to follow such a good and wise man, as the moon follows the path of the stars. What is the meaning of the words “as the moon follows the path of the stars”?
A. Just as the moon is surrounded by stars and other heavenly bodies, one should surround oneself with like-minded people.
