Daily Wisdom from the Dalai Lama

“A true friendship develops on the basis of human affection, not money or power. Of course, due to your power or wealth, more people may approach you with big smiles or gifts. But deep down these are not friends of yours; these are friends of your wealth or power. As long as your fortune remains, then these people will often approach you. But when your fortune decline, they will no longer be there. With this type of friend, nobody will make a sincere effort to help you if you need it. That is reality.”
