This is a view that I have carefully considered as a result of what I have seen in the relationships of others, I have also encountered situations where, had I not been wary, I may well have become victim to such deceptions.
Enemies can be honourable, I like people who know how to hate, friends and lovers (if deceptive) can reduce the deceived to a quivering wreck.
God grant me an honourable foe before a dishonourable friend.
Says I.
