Acharya Chanakya, also known as Kautilya and Vishnugupta, was a great politician, thinker and knowledgeable knowledge of life. Their policies are as important today as they were in time. Chanakya has given guidance to various aspects of life in a book called 'Chanakya Niti', including politics, behavior, education and friendship. He has clearly explained what kind of people should be befriended and who should be avoided.
According to Chanakya, one should not befriend selfish people. These people come close to you only when they benefit from it, and they ignore you as soon as their work is completed. In times of trouble, these people either disappear or increase your problems.
Chanakya has said that people who always talk sweet should distance them away. Such people treat everyone sweetly, but it is difficult to find out their real intentions. Chanakya believes that such persons cannot be trusted, as they can harm your back.
Chanakya advises to stay away from fools. He says that if someone's decision is wrong, even if he is close to you, it can be dangerous to befriend him. The association of fools can be as harmful as enemies.
According to Chanakya, it is necessary to stay away from highly angry persons. Such people are unable to control themselves under any circumstances and sometimes they can harm their close people.
Chanakya has said that one should stay away from people who are always unhappy. Such people spread negativity and disappoint others. If you are constantly in touch with such people, then you also start thinking negatively, which makes it difficult to move forward in life.
