Rule 3: Make friends with people who want the best for you
Like you have an ethical responsibility to take care of yourself, you have an ethical responsibility to surround yourself with people who have the Courage,
Faith,
And Wisdom,
To wish you well when you've done something good,
And to stop you when you're doing something destructive.
And if your friends aren't like that, then they're not your friends. Make friends with people who want the best for you.
