One dirty fish can contanimate a pond?

That was a translation of this age old saying in hindi " Ek Gandi Machli Saare Taalab ko Ganda kar deti hai".

Gandi Machli is bassically reffered to a person in our society who has negative / unhumanly way of leading thier lives, but people around them tend to get influenced with such being and slowly the whole society is negative / unhuman way of living.

Do you agree with this saying? If yes, Why beings in soceity more influenced with negativity then positivity?

Is the reverse of this statement true?

I donot agree!

Bad Fish cannot affect the pond.... if the other fishes are also good. If other fishes are also bad..then the magnitude of the dirt in the pond increases....

Anyone can get influenced only if they are weak...only weak persons or machilis...complain about other Machilis'... clever machilis.. identify that bad Machili and dump it....

BTW....where is the Pond is ..where is the Machili .....

Negative means bring instant fame and name so people get influenced with the result. But once someone realize the consequences of negative influence, he can try to change himself, if it is not too late.

I agree with the saying, yet disagree that society is always more influenced by negativity over positivity. sometimes it is, while there are times when it opens its eyes and appreciates the elimination of dirty macchli..

Is the reverse of this statement true?

reverse would be? clean machhli cleans up the pond?? 😆.. or one dirty fish can't stink up the pond?

any which way, it all depends on the origin, influence, overall talab contents and talab priorities 😆

it is a two way thing. one bad person can spoil the whole society and similarly one good person can fix ppl around them.

but road for the good person is hard. it is hard for one good fish to stay alive for long in a dirty pond.
