Do you agree with the saying-don't tell a friend what your enemy shouldn't know? and got a better answer
Response from
Addressed to a friend, the song goes round and round, because the round earth is an old song, The earth is full of rumors, My tongue is my enemy, etc. sayings, proverbs. Even the best friend can become an enemy. Even the best friend may accidentally say a few words to someone who is not even your enemy, and then it's on. For me, there have long been 3 rules: 1. If you don't know how to lie, don't lie. 2. Do not say things that could turn against me, which I myself would not like to hear in my address. 3. Silence is gold. These rules have appeared hundreds of times since they were written on their own head and tested in practice?
Addressed to a friend, walks the song around the circle, because the round earth old song, Earth is full of rumors, My tongue - my enemy, etc. sayings, proverbs. Even the best friend can become an enemy. Even the best friend can blurt out accidentally to someone who is not even your enemy - and then it happens. For me, there have long been 3 rules: 1. If you don't know how to lie, don't lie. 2. Do not say things that could turn against me, which I myself would not like to hear in my address. 3. Silence is gold. These rules have appeared hundreds of times since I've had them on my head and have been tested in practice.
Completely. You can add one more word, and it's a quarrel for ever.
It's better not to say anything you might regret.
I agree. it is not without reason that one of the Greats said: Get rid of my friends - I'll deal with my enemies myself somehow.
Yes, plus a counterproposal With such friends and enemies are not needed:
If a friend is trusted, why not tell him something? I trust my best friends more than I trust myself. But on the other hand, I very clearly delineate girlfriends and buddies and acquaintances, much less enemies.
In my understanding of a friend - I disagree. I do not agree. A friend is first of all a person whom I trust and if I cannot tell him something that my enemy should not know - this is mistrust and to follow him then what he is my friend - he is just an acquaintance.
Of course an enemy and a friend are two sides of the same coin from love to hatred.
this is all for fake friends
