Many people make the mistake of surrounding themselves with people who think exactly like them and reinforce every idea or prejudice they have. This is a bad mistake and will often end up distorting the reality you see. One may end up with a "fan club" that just reinforces your prejudices.

So do a quick test right now. Make a list of your closest friends/acquintances/advisors. Then make a separate list of those who think totally differently from you, but are worth listening to anyway. Look at the intersection of these lists.

You may be surprised.

Worst thing when your friends become dependent on you. No matter how it happen, accedentally or intentionally, you have to remove this dependance as soon as possible. Sometimes we living under the siege of circumstances, not realizing their destructive force.
Where you getting your sources, dear? From treasure vault? One better than other...

When out with my freinds, it is fun all voicing our own opinions, we still remain freinds, just get a good laugh out of it!
