    I've heard alot of telltales right in the mist of some Brothers too. Now maybe...just maybe, us Sisters have a different perspective of what an enemy is? :)

    Destee can you tell where you recently heard this? I heard on TV several weeks ago but forgot where. After I heard it I thought about starting a thread but I remember not knowing exactly what was meant by it. I think it all depends on how you are looking at a situation. It could mean several things.
    I have observed some really good spiritual people and most of them seem to practice this action and maybe while even not knowing it. One example of my view of it is someone thats on a certain spiritual level if they are above average spiritually is that your true friends and protecters are usually on that same level or above and you dont neccessarily talk to them every day or feel a need to. Those relationships are more telepathic.
    There are other people who yap, yap, and yap to anyone thats friendly and rather for you to be considered the outkast, not converse with them, or be considered the unfriendly person, you would yap yap too but not all day and more than you would with your spiritual friend.
    As for as the enemy those people that you talk to everyday and have fun with mostly some of them could be your enemy or wolves in sheep clothing.
    Does all that make any sense to you?
