Have Good Friends

What type of people do you hang out with? Who are your friends? Whom do you admire? When do you say "who" and when should one say "whom"? That says a LOT about you!! 

Many famous people were friendly with the yicheee person who recently hanged himself in jail [Clinton, Trump, Dershowitz etc. etc.]. They are all vigorously denying knowing what he was up to [and we KNOW that human beings NEVER lie - especially about wrong doing...] and of course they never themselves engaged in the perversions in which he was involved [a number of his friends have been accused by various women of "improprieties" - however now that he is dead much of the truth will probably never come out but Hashem knows and that is what really counts]. 

So I say - what business do you, a respectable, dignified individual [or at least you try to present yourself that way in your public persona], have spending time and socializing with such a sick-demented-terrible-excuse-for-a-human-being like him? He was doubtlessly a vulgar individual and I am sure his hedonist inclinations were very clear. Why would you enjoy his company?? The answer - he was RIIIIIICCHHHHH and people enjoyed his plane, island and many other things I would prefer not to think about. 

Mussar haskel: Choose friends who will elevate you spiritually and be that friend who will elevate others.
