प्रश्न
Which is more desirable-friendship or enmity? When does a person hear strongly the voice of his conscience?
उत्तर
It goes without saying that friendship is based on goodwill and respect for one another. Enmity is created by hatred and ill-will. Friendship is definitely far better than enmity. Every person has a weakness for friends. But the moment he occupies the seat of judgement, he hears the voice of his conscience and gives a fair verdict.
