Infection: Avoid the unhappy and unlucky. (Law #10 of /The 48 Laws of Power/)

[LoZoccolo]

JUDGEMENT
You can die from someone else's misery -- emotional states are as infections as diseases. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and fortunate instead.

This is from The 48 Laws Of Power by Robert Greene.

if I never had to read or wanted to read this stuff, I'd never know how miserable I've really been!
