Choose Your Friends Wisely

All Israelis know this line. The Zarzir didn't go to hang out with the Raven for no reason. Point is that they're one of the same. They're what? When a person hangs out with somebody who's no good, then you could tell what kind of person he is. And sometimes, I'm saying that sometimes [music] it happens that you you do a cheshbon hanefesh and you realize, "Wait a minute. I've been friends with these people, but they're not even good people. They were good for when I was younger, when I was a teenager, and I was into I don't know what." These these people are were my friends. It doesn't mean that they still have to be your friends. That a guy was asked, "Why do you go to the Daf Yomi shiur and fall asleep every single time? What's the point [music] of going?" >> She says, "Cuz this one time on a train, all of a sudden a bunch of cops stormed the train and they arrested everybody in the section, including him. And it took him a long time to explain to the cops that he's not part of that group." He says, "No, no. You're sitting with them. You're in the same right there." "No, I don't know them. I've never met them. I don't know what you're talking about." "No, no. You're part of the whole investigation." He said, "Listen, if they were able to arrest me and then turn my whole life upside down because I was sitting in that chaburah, so kol chein bei me she have a chein bei me if I come to Daf Yomi and I fall asleep, because Hashem is going to say, 'Okay, you're part of the chaburah.'" Even though he's Okay, I'm not encouraging it. It's better than doing other shtussim and you're in a makom of Torah and in a chaburah of Torah and friends of Torah.
