Those of bad qualities associate together, while those of good qualities associate together.At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, sentient beings come together and converge because of an element: those who kill living creatures with those who kill living creatures, those who steal … commit sexual misconduct … lie … consume alcoholic drinks that cause negligence … Those who refrain from killing living creatures … who refrain from stealing … who refrain from sexual misconduct … who refrain from lying … those who refrain from consuming alcoholic drinks that cause negligence with those who refrain from consuming alcoholic drinks that cause negligence.”
