This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Marcus Tullius Cicero's work On Friendship, specifically on his discussion of the limits we ought to observe when friends ask us to do wrong, unjust, injurious, or harmful actions. Friends may ask us to do these things out of a sense of loyalty or affection towards them, or even demand them as a test of that.

Thank you. Better to have no friends than bad friends. If one cannot be a friend, then again, better to have no friends. Until one has some degree of good judgement and stability it is better to work on ones own, fulfilling basic duties and seeking wisdom and character.

Thank you for this video! I learned a lot from it. Do you think there’s a way to repair friendship after it’s rules have been broken? I had a situation where I was not explicitly coerced to do a bad thing by a friend. What happened is that a friend did a thing that I consider immoral and I didn’t do it. Now I feel like I can’t trust this friend because they might do some other immoral thing to me in the future if the situation presents itself.

While it is possible to repair friendships, if you are working with a bad person who is not really going to be a friend, you can't fix them. They would have to fix themselves first
