Quote of the Day!- Make Enemies
A Chinese proverb compares friends to the jaws and teeth of a dangerous animal: if you are not careful, you will find them chewing you up.
Being friends with people is a bit tricky and I must say too that making friends with most people also has its rewards as much as it has its many heartaches and pains.
This is not meant to make you not make friends, it is generally intended to make you WARY of friends.
I make bold to say, I have “friends” (or people I call friends) but when it comes to differentiation in most cases, I’m pressed hard to point at one and say “this is my friend”. Sad as it sounds, it is the truth.
Looking at the ways we have become so obsessed to destroying others for the benefits of oneself, humans have become really far from being humane and sane.
Friends have been known to destroy faster than the enemies would, and that has made many find it difficult to be open to being friendly and stay that way.
Many are friends, but the few good ones are mostly hard to come by; But when you find good friends they stay with you long after the party is over to help pick up the mess and even if they know they cannot guarantee a complete cleanup, they give it their best.
Be very “wary of friends” because they are always mostly the cause of the mess.
I am thankful for the enemies I made along the way because they have helped me stay the cause because without them, I will never be who i am today.
This is a good time to be alive and you must and should as a matter of urgency, make as much friends/enemies as you can because, they are a part of your story and without them, you will be half read.

True talk bro... Friends nowadays are ingenuine... The enemy you know is better than the friend you dont know
"Friends nowadays are ingenuine"
So not much's changed.
This is true, friends are dangerous, I try in a subtle way to tell them I can't have a best friend
Subtle is good and I am sure good enough, you will find your friends or foes. Thanks.
you are right @ejemai ! friends can be double-edged sword
You are right, the worse friends can really spell doom for you.
Definitely a great quote. Very similar to the saying keep your friends close but your enemies closer...In many instances I've had friends put me into much worse positions than an enemy every could. Great post.
I have also found myself in similar situations that I wished I never had to trust these individuals, but we learn and get better.
The whole frienship thing is really messed up @ejemai. If we find good ones and we are sure, lets hold unto them.
When we do find friends, it is important we hold them close because they are hard to come by. Thanks for stopping by.
Ure welcome!
It is sometimes true! A very nice one, thank you for sharing :)
Thank you
You might get a kick out of this youtube channel. He covers content from the 48 laws of power frequently, as well as other works... He's got some amazing insight into literature!
I've had a fair share of bad friends and i am just 18. Sometimes i wonder if i'd ever find the value of real friendship. Maybe a steemian will change my mentality
Hi, and good thing you have had your share of them at this age, and i am sure you also have your good share. Steemit is a platform where you just have it in you to love and be loved and I am sure you will find tons of great friends.
thanks a lot though. i hope i find them soon
I never thought of friendship that way...but I could see this being very true.
Thanks
Most of they so called friends are sheep in gorillas' clothing, they planned evil on daily basis that's why we so much need the gift of discerning of spirit to stay off their track. Friends could make you, they could also mare you. Thanks for sharing boss
Friends are an integral aspect of living and they truly have it in them to make or mare you. Learning to be for the moment is what makes the experience worthwhile. Thanks
