Our Foes Are Not Exactly Our Enemies .....

Quote from Marina Mahathir,

“The weirdest of all is that, more often than not, the biggest threat comes from their own people and people they think of as friends.”


Friends can be the greatest foes. It’s heartbreaking to think that without even having to tighten one’s fist or challenge one’s muscle against the others, friends are capable foes in our lives. It’s surprising to learn that without spoken words or fistful gestures, friends can chase away the halos in friendships.

Hence who are truly friends? Real friends are actually our enemies. People who hurt us, people who teach us the lessons we ought to learn in life through the hardest ways, people who seem to love us less than others do, people who critic us for who we are and what we are, people who isolate us just because we are adamant to stand on our grounds, people who push our patience to the limits, people who sneer and jeer at us for our mistakes or victories and people who we always think are against us.

They are our friends, really they are because through them, we learnt the values of life, we learnt to stay sane when our minds are almost shot away from erupting, we learnt to think with our brains than with our hearts in the heat of defending our rights, we learnt to be mature beyond our inner adolescent thinking and give off mature reactions, we learnt to wake up the sleeping intellectual giants within ourselves so we can think logically, we learnt to Armour ourselves against their unjust speculations with miracle hard works to prove them wrong by letting time be our defences, we learnt to become the best self-believers and strive to attain the goals and targets that they think are not made for us to achieve, we learnt to accept our weaknesses and admit that we are not perfect and refine ourselves so that we have better personalities, we learnt to be self-reliance because we are made to realize that we need to take ownership of our lives and we learnt that isolation means time for us to weigh the possibilities, causes and reasons of our doings and decide if reformation are much needed.

Just some word to share,

“In life, God doesn’t give you the people you want,
instead He gives you the people you need.

To teach you,
To hurt you,
To love you
and
To make you exactly the way you should be.”



I am,
