Protect me from my friends
I can take care of my enemies

Sometimes duplicity and treason are markers of the enemy, and sometimes, the failed intention of a masterful ally. But, nevertheless, as they burden you with a vexing brand of love, they become nothing more than the kiss of Judas, pressing a crown of thorns into your flesh.

In all of life, we encounter people who accept or betray us; there is no other way around it! The friends we has ultimately determine who we are as a person! Judge a person by their friends as well as their enemies!

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

He who loves his enemies betrays his friends; this surely is not what Jesus meant.

Not all things have to be scrutinized, nor all friends tested, not all enemies exposed and denounced
