遠離毒人
感到疲倦、受到傷害、失去自信?美國人最近發現,這些沮喪心情可能是由於「毒友」(toxic friends)作祟。
加州大學精神病學家奧爾洛夫指出,人們終發現朋友是造成不快的原因,「我接觸的人當中,90%人有交友問題」。
要分辨誰是「毒友」,可想想誰人對自己造成最多的負面影響。友情輔導員諾特咸姆指出,人們需要不時評估友情,「朋友要你留在酒吧相陪,可能並非喜歡跟你作伴,而是想你幫忙解決問題。這種友情會令人疲倦、沮喪。良好的友誼應建基於對等關係……就算不能與『毒友』絕交,也要與他們保持距離」。行為醫學研究指出,有些人見到「毒友」會即時心跳加速、血壓上升。
仍在思想這道理是否合乎基督信仰。你有insight嗎?

My take on the topic:
If it causes your relationship with God to deteriorate, then something needs to be fixed. Maybe you are not ready to help your friend at this current time. Maintain a healthy distance.
Can't help nobody if you're (spiritually/mentally/socially) dead.
Unless God tells you so, going in but paying no attention to the risks is blind bravado.
