Every friend and your close circle wants you to win,
But only after them.
Every friend and your close circle wants you to have a big house,
But a bit smaller than theirs.
Every friend and your close circle wants you to achieve and be a great success,
But not greater than them.
Your close circle and most friends (almost all)
Have you in their close circle and friend list only till you outgrow them.
Their mind, its ego and pride can’t see you exceeding them,
Yet you clinch for friendships and close mates
For their advice and approvals,
For their celebrations and laugh,
Knowing within
they are nothing but a lie to you.
That they are the worst kind of company you can ever have
That they will never bother to climb up, expand themselves, and support you,
But they will surely pull you down to their levels.
By understanding this
Distancing yourself will be a natural effect.
