Society of the Vulgar

[pioneer]

B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols

Do you love the society of the vulgar? Then
you are already debased in your sentiments. Do you seek to be with
the profane? In your heart you are like them. Are jesters and buffoons
your choice friends? He who loves to laugh at folly is himself a fool.
Do you love and seek the society of the wise and good? Is this your
habit? Had you rather take the lowest seat among these than the
highest seat among others? Then you have already learned to be good.
You may not make very much progress, but even a good beginning is not
to be despised.

Michael, I like this. I agree with this.

People should not laugh at other people or poke fun of other people, because, in the end, it represents a sense of weakness on their own part. Or in psychology pa, it is projection. Di ko kasabot ngano ang tawo mo talk man sa ubang tawo nga dili man sila mo intend harm or malintent nila, ang saying lang, siguro kananag tawo nga hait ilang dila, hait pood ilang kasingkasing. Na sakitan sigoro lang sila sa unang panahon, maoy sigoro mo suko sila sa ubang tawo.

Para nako, let there be peace, pero, unsaon man jud, dili man tanan mo believe in peace kai ilang natural inclination is to poke fun of others and nothing but destructive criticism. It reflects their own nature and character. Destructive and utterly ugly.

Mo ampo na lang ta para nila. They cannot help it man.
