The reason why many of you can open your mouth to say this nonsense is because you do not know what a friendship entails. You don't understand the importance of having friends, I mean FRIENDS. If you knew the value of your friendships, you'd understand that you have no business frequenting a person who has hurt someone you claim to love.
Your friend is your ally, your wing man/woman, your soul mate, your ride or die.
There is a reason why the saying goes "The blood of the brotherhood is thicker than the water of the womb."
That saying has never been about family. But about friendship.
Our friends do not owe us anything. They are not born into a friendship with us. They make the decision to stick with us, ride with us and stay by our side until the very end. And when you meet someone who is willing to do all of this for you, you don't play with it or fuck with them. You should fight for your friends with the same passion with which you'd fight for yourself.
If na for prick now, some of you would wear your boxing gloves without being asked. But when it comes down to your friends, you suddenly remember that "My friend's enemy is not my enemy".
There are enemies of your friends that are also your enemies. Yes. The evil these people perpetuated against your friend will eventually reach you and affect you. Or are you telling me that seeing your friend in a broken, traumatised, and destructive state would not do anything to you? Wouldn't it hurt your spirit? Wouldn't it affect your own ability to think and act right? If you have ever had any friend who went through an experience that almost killed them, and you felt absolutely nothing towards their condition, then you obviously do not consider that person to be your friend. And that is why you think it's OK to be loving and chummy with a person who caused such hurt to them.
In this Tonto vs Bob fight. I support Tonto. Lady Golfer was once Tonto's bestie. She was with Tonto when Tonto was facing abuse in her marriage. She witnessed everything first hand. Tonto ran to her to seek safety. She saw Tonto in one of her lowest moments in life. She knows about Tonto's marriage more than Bob. Yet, this woman came out to slander Tonto publicly, sided with her ex husband, hung out with him and Rosie, collected money from him and showered him with encomium. Bob came for this woman when she did all of this. Then all of a sudden, they are at a party dancing and laughing together? Sorry, but Bob is not well. He is an idgit and a very disrespectful person.
Perhaps there was a time that I would have tolerated friends who remained friends with someone or people who had proved with facts that they were a danger to me, but today, God forbid bad thing. You cannot be my friend and be mingling with my enemy. No friend of mine will allow themselves to be used as an access into my life by my enemy.
This is my stance.
