Verse 207. Happy Company

Who moves among fool’s company
must truly grieve for long,
for ill the company of fools
as ever that of foes,
but weal’s a wise one’s company
as meeting of one’s folk.

Explanation: A person who keeps company with the ignorant will grieve over a long period of time. Association with the ignorant is like keeping company with enemies – it always leads to grief. Keeping company with the wise is like a reunion with one’s kinfolk – it always leads to happiness.

Excerpt from :

XV. KEBAHAGIAAN

Seseorang yang sering bergaul dengan orang bodoh
pasti akan meratap lama sekali.
Karena bergaul dengan orang bodoh
adalah penderitaan seperti tinggal bersama musuh.
Tetapi, siapa yang tinggal bersama orang bijaksana
akan berbahagia,
sama seperti sanak keluarga yang kumpul bersama.
