According to Chanakya, offering Advice to a stupid disciple brings more harm than doing any good. Remember the story about a sparrow and a monkey? A sparrow once advised a foolish monkey who was shivering in the cold to make fire for warmth. The angered monkey killed the sparrow for daring to counsel it . Similarly sheltering a bad woman creates problems and brings infamy to the provider of the shelter.
   Anyone who is sad because of  loss of money or health is always lamenting and cursing his ill luck. The complaining never ends. One who keeps company to such person also catches the sadness and becomes gloomy. His attitude become negative and he begins slipping down in his own work or profession. Besides, listening to the sad one's constant complaints results in terrible loss of time which a wise creative person can ill afford . The person who has sympathetic ears for others often get cheated, tricked into lending money or gets dragged into some misadventure which results in his becoming another sad one.
