He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20
I've seen this to be true on so many levels. I've seen strong students paired with weak students, and after awhile, the strong students started taking on the negative attributes of the weak students. I've seen couples where one is basically sane and has good logic start to be suspicious in keeping with the spouse's paranoid views. I've been among a group of overeaters who rationalized their having calorie laden unhealthy meals followed by frivolous dessert options, because they deserved it!
What I've found that after awhile, the far-fetched opinions of the foolish start sounding logical. That doesn't mean a person has to eat gruel all the time and always do without, but our bodies thrive on a healthy balance.
I find that it's easier for me to stay on my food program when I am around others who won't be pushing food options on me or make me feel guilty by trying to eat in a healthy manner. I don't want to become a Foolish Christian swayed by the illogical thoughts of others. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20

Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
