I think there's more to it than just that:

Being around good people can inspire you to try to become better yourself.

Being around good people can give you the nudge you need to behave better when that's difficult.

Lastly, as much as I admire the ideally, I simply don't believe in turning the cheek at all times. It exposes other people to risk, not just yourself. (Perhaps that's not what you're arguing for though.)

(I think I understand the general point you're making, and agree with you partially.)

Turning the other cheek is something different altogether.
