There is this phrase:

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.

Yet, how natural is it to really do that? Even though I have a desire to be fair and equal to everyone, there are a few people that get on my bad side. First, they do something that either insults or hurts me. Something that reveals a side of them that I don\’t like. Then afterwards, little characteristics of them start annoying and irritating me. Then I naturally start distancing myself from them. Do unto others as you would do unto them, right? In my ideal world, people who I don\’t like…it won\’t bother me. Yet at times, why does it so?
