Unfaithful friends are a lot more dangerous than any open enemy as one will keep an eye on the enemy, however, will snooze on red flags regarding the friends.
I've read this rule as don't trust friends when it comes to hard business decisions as by default friends want to be nice and supportive. For example, I recently showed my poetry book cover to 10 friends. 9 of them said it was "beautiful" ...but one said he hated it. When I pushed him why he gave me the real feedback I needed which resulted in a better book cover. These are the friends I treasure. Ones that may not always be "nice" but their honesty makes you better.
Nathan this is absolutely brilliant!! If I wasn't typing on my phone I'd write more but thank you 🙏
