Enemies - how to transform them into friends

07/15/2004

You place your trust in someone, you consider him a good friend and colleague but, one day, by chance, you discover that in fact it was all an act and he is working against you. Well, if you are wise and strong and, especially if you have understood what true love is, you will not reprimand him or even show him you have discovered his infidelity. Be vigilant in order to avoid being misused, but continue to behave in a friendly manner towards him. Nothing is gained by abruptly burning your bridges, whereas you can always benefit a great deal by adopting an attitude that allows people to recognise and even rectify their mistakes. The question we must always ask ourselves is whether we really wish to resolve a delicate matter, or simply to settle our personal accounts.
