Is.This.True?

Find at least one enemy to keep you alert.”

That reminded me of an Irish saying: Wait for it.........

I don't think it is wrong if all those who surround you love you....why would someone surround themself with enemies?

However.....I've been on this earth long enough to know that not everyone gets along and it would be naive of me to think everyone I know loves me.

OP, for someone who just became a member of this mb, you have advanced to "irriating" very quickly. Actually.I.Think.You.Started.Out.That.Way.

What's with the periods between every word? Is that a new thing?

I don't go in search of enemies in my personal life, but I do watch or listen to the news at least once a week from a station and/or person that is known for thinking differently than I do.

Every once in a while, I learn something - a new slant or a new way to explain to myself why I really do believe my own thinking is okay. Either way, I always feel I'm doing a service to my own thinking.

Too much punctuation.

I think can be true, sort of like another famous saying, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
