Everyone is on Their Own Path

In a way, no one in the world is bad, they are just learning what they have to learn to grow, no matter how bad their actions may appear. Ofcourse, it is not conducive to the greater good, but you cannot change anyone else's path. But all rivers lead to the ocean.
That being said, it is important to know when interacting with someone is not in your best interest. It is difficult to interact with most people, because there is always an underlying string of judgments, comparisons, jealousies no matter how subtle. The problem is that people do not know how to separate themselves from these thoughts, and realize they are just a part of their accumulated ego, so there is always a phonyness in interaction. Not to mention, their mind games are contagious, so if you are practicing spiritual detachment then it will make it difficult, and you will suddenly also find yourself judging. Our egos were born out of such interaction, so in order to undo them, do not dwell with people that nurture them. If anyone tries to incite bad behavior in you by arguing or taunting you, WALK AWAY. This behavior is stupid and meaningless, and what makes this world so sad. However, interacting with another person that is practicing spiritual life, there is an unwavering intimacy that goes deeper than any mind to mind relationship. There is intimacy based on the very thing that creates interdependence between all things of the world and the universe. Your relationship is based on the truth of your existence, and you coexist in complete peace. You let any problems that arise pass by like clouds in the sky, and recognize how unimportant they are. You are two beings in human form, and acknowledge each-other as that, nothing more. It is a silent understanding. 
Therefore have respect for everyone and know that they are on their own path, but also walk your own path, and do not let anyone push you off it.
