"Sometimes your closest friend is your greatest enemy."
Jason Fong
Some people say that if you want to damage your enemy, you should make friends with him.
The combination of words "to hate a friend" sounds unnaturally and strange. Everybody will agree that friendship is always based on love, respect, devotion, understanding. And these words seem to be a mistake. But it is really possible.
Of course in such situation we can't name a friend "a true friend". A true friend will never hate a person whom he/she loves. But these so called friends are people who pretend to be our friends.
Some of them envy their friends, some want to revenge them, some feel jealous, and others want to get some benefits. But all of them have cruel and evil intentions. And such people choose the most painful way to hurt a person.
Envy is one of seven signs in Christianity. And there is no nation and culture that considers it to be good and positive feeling. And when a person envies another person it always causes a lot of harmful consequences. And as a rule a person who envies someone never gets what he/she wants.
Even good and kind people may have a desire to revenge someone. But you should always remember that it will never solve your problems and won't make your pain go away. Usually people want to revenge someone because they think that they will feel better after it. But it doesn't happen and people revenge more and more until it becomes the aim of their life.
When a person is jealous he/she becomes blind. People imagine something that doesn't exist and that will never happen, but he/she draws pictures in his/her mind of betrayal or cheat. Nobody knows where jealousy comes from and why people are jealous. But this feeling may really destroy the friendship and hurt people. The most important in it all is not to think about the objects of your jealousy and not to invent something that doesn't exist in reality.
Sometimes people make friends because they want to get some benefits. Usually it happens with rich or famous people. Some so called friends want to get money and to use the possibilities that may give a friendship with a famous people to improve their financial situation. But of course it is immoral, because people can't be used as means to achieve some aims.
Anyway people who secretly hate their friends suffer from their hater
