200 words essay on better alone than in a bad company

Answer 1

It need not be stressed here that man is a social animal and that he cannot live without some sort of company. It is rightly said that one who can live without company cannot be a human being. He must be either an animal or a divine being.

All such reflections may be based on stark realities of life. But it is also possible that these may be just philosophical musings. The fact that sometimes circumstances take such a turn in man’s life that he has to shun all company and live a secluded life. Certainly, a hermit or a recluse who leads a cloistered life cannot be termed as an insane person. Many of our great philosophers, saints, seers and wise men have, indeed, risen from ashrams and ‘maths’ where they could get ample time for brooding over various intricate philosophical questions and riddles of life.

Answer:

Better alone than in bad company

"Better alone than in bad company" is a proverb which stressed the danger of mingling with bad friends. The wisdom behind this proverb is that it is better off to be without any friends than to have friends with bad character.

When we spend time with friends who are constantly involved in anti-social and bad activities, we are likely be influenced by them. Under their influence we may lose our good moral character and become a person with bad personality and ruin our life. But if we socialise with friends of good character, we are sure to learn many positive things from them. This will help us to be successful in life and become better human beings.

There are many young people who have destroyed their own life and career by becoming alcoholics and drug addicts because of the bad company they kept. So it is very better to choose our friends carefully than to regret later in life.
