Godly friends will wound us for our good. They will rip open our carefully crafted excuses and stun us back to life. https://t.co/f6gLCsfluB

There are people who want to make other people’s life harder for no other reason than
to be able afterwards to offer them their recipe for alleviating life (for example their Christianity).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Human, All Too Human, §555
Seroiusly: You do not want some godly moron underhandedly messing around with your life for your own good. Put them as remote from you as you possibly can.
UPDATE: Apparently, the importance of being willing to ‘wound’ your friends for their own good is the theme of the day.
Want to have a friend like Jesus? He was not afraid to wound his friends to heal their souls. https://t.co/f6gLCsfluB
