" Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. "

Enemies are people who feel hostile and hatred towards us while friends and lovers are the ones who care for us and we feel safe.

But sometimes friends and family hesitate to tell us the truth of a situation as they care for us and don't want us to suffer by knowing the truth and their affection towards us might come in a wrong way if we get to know the truth later from other sources. While enemies speak the truth as they want us to feel the anguish that can cause by the news.

Enemies and friends both play different roles in our life, and we must keep the boundaries.
