John GreenI always felt like you had to be important to have enemies.
About This Quote
This quote is best used when trying to convince someone that they are wrong about their relationship with an enemy. The idea of an enemy is that there is someone you don’t like or want to be around, but you can’t get rid of them. You may not like them, but you can’t avoid them because they are important to someone else. The enemy is not something that exists in your life; they are imaginary.
Sometimes, you don’t even want to be around someone because they are so unimportant to you. You won’t miss them if they go away, and hopefully they will leave on their own instead of being pushed out. This quote is best used when trying to convince someone that their enemy isn’t real or even there at all.
