18. Go to him

```

Although your desire-friend

Is staying all alone,

Don’t go to him.

He will spoil you;

He will ruin you.

He will spoil your character;

He will ruin your life.

Although your aspiration-friend

Is weak and not helping you,

Go to him and stay with him.

One day he will become strong;

One day he will become rich;

One day he will become immortal.

When he becomes strong

All his power will be yours.

When he becomes rich

All his wealth will be yours.

When he becomes immortal

All his Immortality will be yours. ```
