“If you cannot find a good companion to walk with, walk alone, like an elephant roaming the jungle. It is better to be alone than to be with those who will hinder your progress.” - Adaptation of two Dhammapada verses This is often attributed to Buddha but it’s not exactly a quote, but an adaptation or paraphrasing of two Dhammapada verses: 329. If for company you cannot find a wise and prudent friend who leads a good life, then, like a king who leaves behind a conquered kingdom, or like a lone elephant in the elephant forest, you should go your way alone. 330. Better it is to live alone; there is no fellowship with a fool. Live alone and do no evil; be carefree like an elephant in the elephant forest. #Quote #Buddhist #DhammapadaVerses #Solitude #Paraphrase https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtIuvxF2KJ/?igshid=wj7x01mvks89
