Om Swami
How does sticking to the truth protect me from negative people?
Truth filters out the wrong people
When you stick to the truth, people who don't belong in your life are filtered out. They may be in touch with you and may know you, but they won't get to you or negatively impact you.
When you stick to the truth you will filter out people who don't belong. They may be in touch with you. They may know you but they won't get to you.
