‘If a man wants to be friendly with wolves, he must first sharpen his spears’
No matter how friendly you are, it is very dangerous to be too free with wolves. Wolves are not like dogs or cats that you can see in the neighborhood, they are wild animals. It takes a very smart person to relate freely with wolves.
In the world today, there are many people who behave and live their lives like wolves. Many of them are fearful, terrifying, cunning, wicked, deceptive, wild, merciless, inconsiderate and too dangerous to relate with.
You need to be conscious of the existence and presence of the people who are the wolves in your life. There is a big lesson to learn from everyone you meet in life (either good or bad), so it pays to take time to study people and ensure that you learn from them by being friendly to them; instead of avoiding them unnecessarily.
Today, examine all the friends that you have in your life, separate those who are truly and genuinely friendly from those who act like wolves. Ensure to deal cautiously with the friends that you have identified to be the wolves in your life. Never hesitate to sharpen your spears and guard your heart with all forms of diligence while dealing with your friends (both the true ones and the cunning ones). At times, a true friend may turn out to be the wolf you had never identified.
Always open your mind to learn from every relationship with people; don’t just do things for fun. Keep being smart and wise. Remember, ‘If a man wants to be friendly with wolves, he must first sharpen his spears’. Happy Valentine's Day!
