Snake: Sometimes your Friend

It seems like there is a snake in every part of the world. Some are venomous, some are not, some are crawling, and sometimes, they are even speaking, with two hands and feet, and little did you know, it is the person whom you trust.

A snake that is not venomous is less frightening but still beware. Sometimes, those who seem tamed are the ones who are just waiting for the right time to attack you in the right place. It's worst if you meet a venomous snake along the way. Some run, some confront it, some are afraid, while some are left out of words, dazed in their position, with tears coming out from their eyes.

The use of a term snake to psychologically influence and fool two individuals into making what they believed to be a wicked or evil choice seems to have had a profound cultural effect. Because of this, many people believe that all snakes are either malevolent or manipulative, and it isn't a leap to believe that the same may be said of individuals who display similar traits.

In life, things really come unexpectedly. Sometimes, those whom you consider good friends are just attacking you in the back. Sometimes, they even make false stories to pull you down and have the audacity to even say 'bes.' Sometimes, enemy is better than fake friends. Because you know who your enemies are. On the other hand, false friends are pretentious. Suppose you find out that your friend is treating you in this way. What you may do is this one. Even if this action was completely out of character for that person, tell them what you have found out about them and ask if they were okay or if there is a misunderstanding.

People's actions may be influenced by events that are out of their control.

If this person were a real friend and you discovered that they had been living a lie, again, you would try to find out what drove them to do so. Also, you might like to mention that somehow, you had lost a little trust in them.

Toxic people would have to know that their actions hurt you, and you would have to protect yourself by separating yourself from them if you discovered this. It would be interesting to see how they react in each of these scenarios.

They might be embarrassed or even utter some words from their mouth to make it easy to leave. This is a tough one because you can't just put your trust in them if they say they will improve and try to change for the better. Everyone deserves a second chance, though, but it depends on the situation. Of course, if you think he or she is not deserving of it, why give him or her a chance?

Moreover, if you're referring to someone's tendency to gossip or betray, the best course of action is to ignore it. Some may interpret this as a sign of timidity or a refusal to speak out. These individuals, however, frequently seek out the attention-getting aspects of life. They relish the prospect of someone willing to stand up and call them out, since it gives them an opportunity to brand you as a new foe and a new area of rumors and drama to circulate around.

Avoid talking about people who can't control themselves in a conversation. Don't forget that if they're going to talk about other people behind their backs, they're going to talk about you as well.

In a nutshell, snakes typically attack their victim with stealth. Snake in the grass is a more detailed description, implying that this individual will merge in with their environment like a snake in the grass that strikes. They'll sneak into a group, fit in, and then attack when the opportunity arises. To refer to someone as a snake is related to referring to them as a hoaxer.

You shouldn't put your faith in them. As always, be vigilant and choose wisely whom you trust.
