32. ALL THINGS MUST BE BASED UPON VIRTUE
Those ignorant ones, who have no virtue yet desire fame, power and prestige, are doomed to fail in the end. The louder they boast, the faster they will fail. All things must be based upon virtue.

33. NO DESIRE FOR OTHERS' POSSESSIONS
I built the Temple. My life is based on merit. From it, I have a place to live and food to eat. There is no desire in me to steal other's wealth. If someone causes me harm, let that be his/her own burden; I have no desire to hurt anyone’s feelings.
34. ASSOCIATING WITH PEOPLE
We should know what type of people to associate with. There are some people we can welcome into our homes, while others should be kept at a distance. It is important to recognize which is which.
If we know certain people display bad behavior, then it’s best to avoid them entirely, lest we begin to emulate them. Even if we recognize and disagree with their bad behavior at first, if we continue to associate with them, in time, we begin to think they are not so bad after all and end up losing our own morals.
A heroin addict started out as drug free, but through peer pressure, gradually became addicted to the drug. Think of bad behavior as contagious germs. We don’t know when we catch them. Slowly they invade us without our awareness. Before we know it, it is already too late.
