It is true we gradually become our environment. it is better avoiding bad company because if we do we can get into trouble.

Would it be correct in Calais?

I don't know but I never heard this.

...

Yes for it's raining; it's snowing; etc.

Gérard what would you write ?
It would be a good idea to keep bad people away ?

Muriel,

I've to apologize.
"... it's better avoiding..." is not really incorrect.
The correct form is definitely: "it's better to avoid...", however some people speak excessively with this -ing form - again, "it's better avoiding" can be heard but it's really weird.

Gérard, when you write "madness" you mean the quality of somebody who is free from limitations and conditionings, who is genuine !

Hi Muriel, yes, genuine.
I don't like "free from limitations" much, let's say unusual, weird compared to the codes.

"free from limitations" Gérard i wanted to write "formatted"(education, religion etc) but i didn't know if it was the right word.

That's fine.
As I found it ambiguous, I preferred to add my remark.

Is there another life after death ? Nobody knows and it is not useful to rake our brains about that. It is better to live our life to the fullest ! Very Happy
