welcome to the hive reachout community weekly prompt week 42, title "Popular statement you don't agree with". my name is @ingbede.
Generally speaking, I’ve had challenges with the slogan “A FRIEND OF A THIEF IS A THIEF”, creation has made us peculiar such that the abilities, specialty, independence in thoughts, decision-making mindset, and how fast it is taken differ. The older generation i.e our parents have had to force this idea down our throats because they want to shape and train the best advocates of their various families; as a matter of fact, Parents don’t observe closely or understand the personality traits of their children, through which they can determine how strong the personality is to withstand pressures from friends, classmates, playmates or peers whichever applies.

The only fear that might exist is being implicated in crimes in which the person didn’t take part in any way. Most often, there are people who can keep preaching positivity into the lives of their friends who have a carefree/nonchalant attitude towards morals and society's norms and values.

In addition, we are interdependent in life through the act of complimenting each other weaknesses and encouraging ourselves to keep life going daily, In the instance of cutting someone off their friends or close allies, you have risked the morally bankrupt of a better chance at changing for better. The influences we have on each other when in love, the quest to keep a friendship because you can’t afford to lose, and the respect you have for a person is a point of connection to allow for change to happen.
Talking about abilities, specialty, and independence of thoughts tells more as you can’t predict a person's next move or future, nor their acceptance of evil; as such if not for accusations and wrongfully being detained or imprisoned, many persons have come to suffer for crimes they fought to prevent because they won’t allow them to happen freely under their watch.
Discipline, being reserved, cultured, and modest are traits that can be hereditary or inborn of a person, parents who are blessed just need to support and shape it more and we have a better child first, then an adolescent, a teenager, and eventually an adult that will uphold the standard of a modest society, it doesn’t prove a point that the person by associating with a person having an unbecoming character will be same in conduct.
On the other hand, before spreading fake news about “that the friend of a thief is also one” you must have found out for yourself that they both are actively involved in nefarious activity, they have been seen hiding, these fellows have been seen having in their possession what is beyond their means legitimately, the restlessness that comes with meeting persons trying to conceal an issue, an event, the evidence that aids unveiling a criminal or civil issue. In the law of nature, morality, a person remains innocent until proven guilty by his or her antecedents, of course with witnesses who have seen the process in part or whole unfold or happening; until then he/she must be treated with utmost respect deserving of a decent member of society.
The above converse seeks to clarify that this proverb is outdated, and has outlived the period of its relevance and effect on humans; are mere assumption and a baseless accusation of the good-hearted fellow. Modern approaches seek to address the pains the above proverb has inflicted on a person’s ego, human person, and right to freedom of association, a right to vote and be voted for, the end justifies any means.

I strongly disagree with you in this write up, I believe that a friend of a thief is also a thief reason being that peer group and peer pressure can make or destroy a child, i remember what happened in my family while growing up, my brother happened to be a good friend of one boy who is rough, some see him as thief, some see him as Yahoo boy, before you know it, my brother started possessing his character and that is when my Dad step in and stop their relationship with force, now the boy is in prison because he broke someone's shop to steal and was caught and my brother has finish his masters and doing well now, I believe that if my Dad didn't act fast, my brother's friend would have spoil him.

STOPAm not in agreement when people say 'A friend of a thief is a thief' to a certain extent because not all friends of a thief are thief, even though some of them are. That friend who is a thief might be engaged in nefarious activities without the consent of the other because he probably knows that he will be talked out of it by the other so they tend to liaise with those who are willing and engage in such despicable act
