We can't blame the entire Muslim society because of the mischievous acts of a few individuals.

As a result, you make more genuine friends and the atmosphere around you is more positive, which gives you greater inner strength. This inner strength helps you spontaneously concern yourself with others, instead of thinking only about yourself.
