A difference in views.

I'm listening to Stromae, Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie (from Arcane Season 2) Lyrics w/ translation.

And one line is "Mais comme dit le diction: Plutôt qu'être seul mieux vaut être mal accompagne."

French (sorry for butchering some of the letters, I've a Nordic layout), roughly for "But as the saying goes: Better than alone, is to be in bad company."

Reading that, I remembered a Spanish line from last weeks episode of "The Day of the Jackal": "Mejor solo que mal acompañado."

"It's better to be alone than in bad company."

A difference in views between the French and the Spanish, eh? Anyone here who's got some view on it? I'd be interested to hear a view from someone who intimately understands both cultures.
