What if.............................?

It's pretty obvious that one should keep away from the wicked and two-faced as much as possible - the jealous friend, the narcissistic parent, the untrustworthy partner.  At first glance Marcus Aurelius is reminding us to avoid false friends.
    But what if we turn it around?  What if, instead, we ask about the times that we have been false to our friends?  Ultimately that's what Stoicism is about - not judging other people's behavior, but judging our own.
