Evil Friendship

தனியே வீட்டில் உள்ளபோது பொருந்தியிருந்து, பலர் கூடிய மன்றத்தில் பழித்து பேசுவோரின் நட்பை எவ்வளவு சிறிய அளவிலும் அணுகாமல் விட வேண்டும்.

தனியாகச் சிந்திக்கும் போத இனிமையாகப் பழகிவிட்டுப் பொது மன்றத்தில் பழித்துப் பேசுபவரின் நட்பு தம்மை அணுகாமல் விலக்கிக் கொள்ளப்படவேண்டும்

Kind words in private do not make someone a trustworthy friend. Their actions around other people matter just as much. Respect should not change with the audience. Keeping your distance from such people can protect you from repeated hurt.

Personal

You step back from a friend who is kind alone but mocks you at gatherings.

Workplace

You avoid becoming close to a coworker who praises you privately but mocks you during meetings.

Family

You share less with a relative who listens kindly alone but makes you a joke at dinner.

Society

You keep your distance from a neighbor who welcomes you privately but ridicules you at community meetings.

Decision-making

Before getting close to someone, notice how they treat you around others.

Integrity

Show people the same respect alone and in a group.

Communication

Do not use friendly private talks as material for public jokes.

Leadership

Never build someone's trust in private and then mock them before the team.

Governance

Judge public officials by how they treat people both privately and at public meetings.

Give people the same respect everywhere. Private kindness does not excuse mocking someone before a group.
