Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

There are two contradicting emotions within the human heart. Needless to say, there isn't a person who doesn't feel empathy towards other's misfortunes. However, when you see a person finally able to overcome their misfortunes it is possible to feel a sense of dissatisfaction. To exaggerate a little, it leaves you with a sense that you want to see that person fall into the same misfortune again. Before you know it you unwillingly harbour a sense of hostility towards them.
