The friend and the enemy inside you

The friend and the enemy inside you

The friend holds you from being impulsive, whereas the enemy forces you to swipe your cards.

The friend tells you to forgive, whereas the enemy forces you to take revenge.

The friend tells you to focus on health, whereas the enemy forces you towards buffets.

The friend tells you to wake up, whereas the enemy forces you to snooze your alarm.

The friend tells you to stand for your rights, whereas the enemy forces you to stay away from such acts.

The friend tells you to channelise your anger, whereas the enemy forces you to use the weapon.

The friend tells you to save and invest, whereas the enemy forces you to spend and borrow.

The friend tells you to introspect, whereas the enemy forces you to gossip about others.

The friend tells you to change with time, whereas the enemy forces you to resist the change.

Sometimes, the friend might look like an enemy and vice-versa, If we can recognise who is the friend and the enemy within us, we can understand how to lead our life better.

When we listen to the friend within, the enemy in us will disappear and, it will also help us face the enmity outside.
