“I have had many occasions in my life when I have thanked God for the caliber of my friends, but even more occasions when I have thanked Him for the caliber of my enemies.” — Douglas Wilson, Israel, Iran, and Good Old Vermont
Sometimes our enemies are our best publicity team. When fools broadcast their folly, they often compliment their target. Let's call it boomerancor based on the way it flies in the face of the one who threw it. Boomerancor is the smack that smacks back.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits."
Running with bad folk can run down your street cred, but being run down by bad actors can establish your credibility.
Proverbs 12:23
One who is clever conceals knowledge,
but the mind of a fool broadcasts folly.
The one who keeps quiet might be condemned as a fool, but the one who podcasts his ignorance confirms that he is one and perhaps even exonerates the intended victim of his vitriol. The quality of your haters can often confirm the caliber of your character as it discredits theirs.
