When you hear a knock, you don't open for just anyone.
For some, you leave it closed.
For others, you may open the door, but guard it nonetheless.
Finally, there are those you let in.
Only those who have consistently demonstrated their trustworthiness should be allowed to enter.
Whether it's your home or your heart, the same rules apply.
It's important to note that we get better at making accurate judgments with time.
Stoics called this oikaiosis, which can be translated as appropriation or familiarization.
We all begin life with an untainted understanding of what is good and bad.
We seek what is pleasurable and avoid what is painful.
The Stoics believed that, with time, we could learn to refine our sense of good and make more accurate assessments about the natural world.
Of course, it will take time, and we won't always judge correctly.
The friends that we properly judge, though, will remain in our lives forever.
Don't be or befriend the fair-weather friend.
He who regards himself only and enters upon friendships for this reason reckons wrongly.
The end will be like the beginning.
He has made friends with one who might assist him out of bondage.
At the first rattle of the chain, such a friend will desert him.
These are the so-called fair-weather friendships.
One who is chosen for the sake of utility will be satisfactory only so long as he is useful.
