Trying to be a companion to every single person will ultimately make you your own worst adversary. Many years ago, life gave me a valuable lesson about this, showing me that I should never strive to become friends with everyone or constantly try to remain in their good graces. When you pursue that impossible standard, you inevitably make numerous missteps and subject yourself to a continuous state of anxiety. Instead, focus on acting righteously in the eyes of God, and simply do what you can for your fellow human beings. By adopting this balanced mindset, you will ensure that you never have to spend your days living on the edge.
