Question
To your shock, you find out that your close friend is indulging in some wrong activity. Will you avoid him/her or try to correct him/her? Give reasons for your answer.
Solution
How could I avoid him/her? He is my friend. I am bound to persuade him to return to the path of virtue. I may threaten him to snap my ties with him and try all that is in my capacity to convince him. I shall persist in correcting his behavior. I shall tell him that his wrong activity would destroy his reputation and he might fall from the grace of teachers, classmates, and his own parents when what he does gets exposed. I shall share some real-life examples of people who have taken the wrong means to acquire wealth or power and how they have been caught and punished later. To make things clear to my friend, I shall make him realize the consequences of wrong activities. I shall try my level best to bail him out of the path of evil. After all, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
