Being an extremely non-linear account of my struggle to understand just what the hell is actually going on here!

...friend or foe!
Received a comment in the form of a question on my last post (The Little Frog & Duck Boy In The I.E. Part 1):
"...when do we know that friendship has become foe, or when we've just let something good slip away?"
Answering a question with a question or two or several:
Can a friend be a foe at the same time? Aristotle ( at least I think it was him) said that friends are 2 bodies sharing one soul. If that's the case, how can they be friend and foe. Isn't a true friend someone who always wants the best for you? When that stops, is it not a transition out of friendship into some other relationship as it is when love becomes indifference?
Perhaps this is too simplistic a view, too much of a 'binary' approach to something so subjective but if you had to do a T-list, your friends in one column and your acquaintances in the other, which column would be longer?

Sounds linear to me...of course a circular response would suggest that at the peak friends and foes meet. As with genius and idiocy, perhaps these meet at a place where they affect and influence those around them. Imagine the classic love/hate relationship where energy is so powerful that it cannot be simply pigeon holed into only one category. suny6121962@yahoo.com
