Don't be afraid of those who hate you, but always be careful of those
who show you love.
Why
shouldn't we be afraid of those who hate us? We are not afraid of them because
they hide nothing. They are our adversaries, yes, but they are honest with us. Based
on this, you can consider them appropriately and you will not be mistaken,
because the rule from which you started is correct.
But
the problem is who shows you love. One who shows love can be honest as well as
a liar. The problem is: how to distinguish the honest from the liar? You can
take the truthful person as a liar and harm them, and you can take the liar as
honest and harm yourself. From there, you have to be careful. We say you have
to be careful, because the one who cheats on you will only cheat on you because
you have given him your trust. This granting of trust is in a way your
participation in the deception. But the one you don't trust can't deceive you.
Perhaps the only two people with whom we need to be completely assured of their
love for us and welcome their misdeeds, should they happen to us, are the
mother and the father. As for the rest as life partners, brothers, sons and
friends... We are not saying that we should not be completely assured of them,
but we must always be ready to discover possible hostile behavior from their
go. How many husbands have recorded intimate video clips with their wives with
their consent, and after years and because of a family dispute, they have taken
advantage of these videos and published them publicly and exposed their wives
to scandals? Several
of course! Unfortunately.
