Friends and biggest enemies are all with you

Your best friends and your biggest enemies

Are all within you

They are both enclosed in your mind,

Your thoughts!

When these thoughts speak to you,

With Me as their sole focus,

They become your best friend.

They show qualities of true loyalty to you.

They are filled with good intentions for you.

And most of all, they do the important task of

Directing you to Me.

But when these thoughts speak to you,

With "You" as their sole focus,

They become your biggest enemy.

They hurt others and most of all,

Hurt "Me" within you.

They create chaos and restlessness.

You lose your sanity and sense of peace.

And most important of all, you lose your way,

In this deep, dense forest,

And become an easy victim,

To the hunger of the wild ferocious animals

That surround you.
