Essay On A close friend can become a close enemy
FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT is a proverb similar to this Ethiopian proverb. This proverb insists on the necessity to maintain distance between friends. If there is a close relationship between friends sometimes it may become harmful to the friendship itself. This is because if we are too familiar to some object or some person we will automatically develop a dislike or hate for the person and we have contempt. Even in the case of food we would like to try out different varieties and we will be bored if we eat the same food daily. This also happens when relatives living close to each other develop a hostile attitude whereas relatives who live far away from each other are very friendly. This occurs because when we live close to one another, we see more of a person we start seeing their faults and so start hating them.
