Re: Keep Your Friends Close...

Not really...
Only because I feel life is too short and therefore cannot waste any time thinking negatively for too long ...such as keeping an enemy around

although I think in thoery its actually a GOOD one...

NO!
I can NEVER keep an enemy close...

Trust is essential to me in a friendship...enemies need to be KICKED to the curb

enemy can be a number of things

1. someone you plain just don't like
2. someone who has wronged you
3. a competitor for a job
4. a person who has something you want

i think of an enemy as someone you have beef with.....someone who did something to you that causes you to dislike them.....

true...but for me to call someone an enemy...well they have to have gone way beyond me not liking them...
They have to do something that really tugs at thea heart strings!

i agree, it would have to go way beyond a small fight or 2 to make someone an enemy

I do at the office. You never know when you'll need help from someone or information and even though that person is your enemy they'll be your most valuable piece of information Chat Icon

Can't say I have many enemies (at least I don't think so :) ), but in the past I have gone by this.

I do the same. The person I work with always knows whats going on, always goes running to the boss about every little thing (I swear its like being on the playground at elementary school - she goes running to the boss and tatles on everyone) but when it comes to finding out some information about new hires, getting the latest dirt on employees and big wigs, changes in the group, etc she is the one to go to. Of course I never reveal my cards. I just smile, say have a good day, may I have a piece of chocolate and have a good evening. Chat Icon

No, I don't subscribe to that at all, maybe if I were a spy I would...LOL

To me, not liking someone or someone wanting the same thing as I do is not an enemy unless there was some really ruthless underhanded methods used.

Only at work.

In the rest of my life I cut them off....unless they are family. Then that gets tricky!!

Re: Keep Your Friends Close...

Not at all. I live by the theory that whatever happens that is out of your control, deal with that when the time comes. That includes situations brought on by your enemies.
