“It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you and the other to get the news to you”
Mark Twain
An enemy will start a malicious rumor about your good charater; a friend will repeat it to your face.

Usually your so-called best friend its the first one to try to put you down. Enemies are much easier to deal with because you know thy plan on ding you harm if they can. You know how to react and respond. Not so with so-called best friends.
