Friends are nothing but a known enemy
The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do.

When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
