Amen, brother.cams wrote:A classic example of "Friend or Foe"
A small bird was making his way south for the long winter, out of pure fate he flew into an ice storm, his wings froze up and he crashlanded in a pasture.
He watched, frozen in fear and unable to move as a cow walked over and took a huge shit on him as he lay dying.
Miracurously, the heat of the dung warmed him enough that he was able to start moving again, and began to hop away, flapping the ice and shit off his wings.
Just then a cat saw him, ran over, cleaned the rest of the shit off of him, and abruptly ate him.
The moral of the story is this;
Just because someone takes a dump on you, does not neccessarily make them an enemy...
...and just because someone helps you out of the shit one time, does not neccessarily make them a friend.
