Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little

Summary

This quote suggests that as opposed to focusing solely on showing love towards our enemies, we should prioritize being kinder and more appreciative towards our friends.

By highlighting the importance of nurturing existing relationships, the quote suggests that we should value and cherish those who already care about us, rather than solely directing our efforts towards winning over those who may not hold the same sentiments.
