“There is no need to avoid poisonous minds. But it’s helpful not to allow the poison Into your own.” Downward Dog

 “Just as a trader with a small escort and great wealth would avoid a perilous route, or just as one desiring to live avoids poison, even so should one shun evil. If on the hand there is no wound, one may carry even poison in it. Poison does not affect one who is free from wounds. For him who does no evil, there is no ill.”
