With a Little Help from my Friends
If
you really want to become skillful in your thoughts, words, and deeds,
you need a trustworthy friend to point out your blind spots. And because
those spots are blindest around your unskillful habits, the primary
duty of a trustworthy friend is to point out your faults—for only when
you see your faults can you correct them; only when you correct them are
you benefiting from your friend’s compassion in pointing them out.
