Afracan Proverb #7

"An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend."


I personally do not agree with the African Proverb. Why should I have to fix myself to a standard just to outsmart you and for what reason are you even against me. I'd rather have a stupid friend because he or she isn't against me. An intelligent enemy is only plotting on you. A stupid friend will be or do something stupid which might affect you, but not to the degree of an intelligent person out to get you. So I'd rather have a stupid friend over an intelligent enemy
