Allies are the least helpful person that gonna analyze your ideas.
Furthermore, they have as much as difficulty with your enemies as you are.
That's part of the reason they are your friends.
They want to get some beneficial from you.
Only a true friend won't ask for nothing in return, which is quite hard to meet nowadays.
This proverb is like a vision of war.
The expression is ancient and is used because our humanity are getting more sick.
For me, I will delete “enemies” in my vocabulary of life if possible, even I know I don't feel their affinity.
I have to accept the fact that they are existing among us.
Acceptance doesn't mean you agree with them, but it is an act of respect and understanding with other human sickening behavior level.
I was raised and taught wearing my heart on my sleeve.
The truth is what I always do and always have.
I made friends easily because I gave my trust and heart to everyone equally.
It also means that it may get smashed so easily.
The older I've got, the more I realized how dark some people can be.
It's not everyone has a pure heart like I always believed they are. Nowadays, I started to not trust people as much as I did before.
I kept my secret to myself because they may use it against me.
My understanding on enemies can start with they're bitching a bit too much about me to their friends. Be extra alert on the red flags because the proverb can have many interpretations.

You better save yourself from this kind of people and just forgive them and pray for their reform.
As I'm writing this, I would love to say Thank You to one particular person who was kind enough to tell me and inform me some generous info.
I'm still bless with a stranger who can see the truth in me.
I would just like to called her Miss Grace, The Receptionist.
Dear readers, as I tried to point it out here, the proverb is the exact example of what had happened to me and which I want all of you to be careful of.
No matter how close you are or how far you may be, just be alert in the future that not everybody is your friends and not everybody is smiling because they like you.
