Don't be a fool

I was reading this morning in Proverbs and this verse stuck out:

Proverbs 13:20

"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companions of fools will suffer harm."

Who do you spend time with? Are you walking with the wise or becoming a fool?

    Some word for though from Plato's "Symposium"

    And I am quite aware that if you happened to meet with any whom you thought wise, you would care for their opinion much more than for that of the many. But then we, having been a part of the foolish many in the theatre, cannot be regarded as the select wise; though I know that if you chanced to be in the presence, not of one of ourselves, but of some really wise man, you would be ashamed of disgracing yourself before him—would you not?

    Yes, said Agathon.

    But before the many you would not be ashamed, if you thought that you were doing something disgraceful in their presence?


    or if you prefer:

    'And is that which is not wise, ignorant? do you not see that there is a mean between wisdom and ignorance?’ ‘And what may that be?’ I said. ‘Right opinion,’ she replied.
