Backstabbing friends are called a snake in the grass precisely because they slither a little too quietly for comfort, as if they’re waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike you down. Most of them are poisonous, sometimes spreading malicious lies about you or leading you to believe in one thing when the truth is totally the opposite. While we can get mad about these snakes, we can also learn to let them go… back to the wild where they belong. The first step to moving on, however, is by having a good laugh.
