The one we hold closest to us
Is the one capable of the worst.
We must either trust everybody or nobody;
If we only trust some, we are betrayed.

They say keep your friends close,
But your enemies closer.
But how can we tell the difference
If we are best friends with our worst enemy?

Honesty and vulnerability --
A combination that can move mountains.
Ironically we seem to run away from them;
Nothing plagues like the truth.
