A friend will pick you up, so that you won't be lying in the dirt.
An enemy will scold you, so that you won't feel like getting back up.
A true friend will do both, so that you will learn never to trip again.
I hope i'm striking the right balance. i hope i'm being a good friend. but if i'm not, then forgive me and let someone else pick you up, so that my words were not in vain.
