“He who walks with the wise grows but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

A proverb

Reflection: what I think this reflection about a proverb is trying to say is that a wise person grows as in like that person is doing well and can be successful in life and is capable of doing anything in life but a com companion of fools suffers harm now that’s trying to say something else like for example: people are capable of doing things on their own thing but if they choose the wrong they will harm their self and that’s not good always look at the people around them. Always do what’s right not wrong because CTR can be worth it and bring lots of good thing in life.
