If you look back at where you started from, you'd realize that most of our progress is because of the nice people we meet. And that progress is more of materialistic progress which may include job, happiness and friends or family. And the mindset wise progress requires you to meet the bad people. Like without meeting few bad people in order to grow from the inside because only seeing the daylight wont grow you much. And you have to see the night and the bad days for things to work it out. People is what make you and break you in the long run. You do everything around for yourself but at the end the measured progress or the growth is on the basis of the people you have around. What do you think? Do you value people? Or do you think people around are not necessary? image credit: https://flamingtext.com
