Reality of love

When your friend, partner, colleague or relative insist in bringing you to their own level, especially when in fact they don't really care about you, just know that you don't have a friend, but a foe.

When you are growing and someone who claims to love you don't want you to grow in that manner because of their own parochial proclivities, just know that you have a dream killer as a "lover"
Don't be blind to realities.
Love is not a stumbling block, but a stepping stone.
If your own case is different, surely, you must be paddling the wrong love boat.
