People of poor character associate together, while people of good character associate together.At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, sentient beings come together and converge because of an element. Those who have a bad attitude come together and converge with those who have a bad attitude. Those who have a good attitude come together and converge with those who have a good attitude. In the past, too, sentient beings came together and converged because of an element. … In the future, too, sentient beings will come together and converge because of an element. … At present, too, sentient beings come together and converge because of an element. Those who have a bad attitude come together and converge with those who have a bad attitude. Those who have a good attitude come together and converge with those who have a good attitude.”
