familiarity breeds contempt
Long experience of someone or something can make one so aware of the faults as to be scornful. For example, They were best of friends, but as time went on, both of them started to quarrel a lot as they knew each others' weaknesses too much- familiarity breeds contempt. The idea is much older, but the first recorded use of this expression was in Chaucer's Tale of Melibee (c. 1386).
hmmm.....
trust is to be earned. and it can be lost too......
easier lost than earned.
ever had a situation where u know a person(s) so well that after awhile, people lose the respect for each other, the respect that began the friendship and even held it. the friends know each other well, their weaknesses, strengths, passions, crushes etc.... then it turns to intense dislike for each other(s).... that's the definition of contempt in this context, by the way.
friendship to disunity.
and enmity...
what sort of life are we going thru without friendships?
yet when the very friends u seek become your worst enemy....
ironic? no.... steelic.... :D
irony with carbon.
add chromium to be stainless steel....
erm
erm
erm....
haha...
but... i wonder what i would do and how to react if such a thing happens to me.... if it ever happens, how will i deal with such a situation(s)amicably...
call upon Him lor....
