i thnk that this qoute means that a friend who is not honest is a friend who should be feared more than a wild beast because dishonesty would ruin your mind. For Example:if your closest friend was in a gang and they didn't tell you and you got injured in some way, you would fear that friend.

i think that this qoute means a friend that is really evil and mean should be feared more than a wild animal because that person can tamper with your mind that can cause you to do bad things and end up making you go crazy.
EX: your roomates with this girl who likes talking about how this person i hate her i want her to die and she does something to make that happen and she tells you how fun it is and how you should try it and she finally get's you to do it and you feel diffrent you feel like you hurt an innocint person and that is how she tamperd with you mind and now your scared because that girl can persuade you to do it again and you are just in fear that she would do it again and again.

I Think this quote means that a friend can be more dangerous then an actual beast attacking you. A beast may hurt a phyically but a friend can hurt you mentally.

Ex. You may be a spiritual person and believe in god, but you have a friend that always curse and does bad things. So that friend can brain wash you into doing bad things ass well. Or you may starting cussing as well

I think this quote means that a friend that you have is really evil and mean that the evil friend have more fear than a wild beast because that friend will do something to you that you will remember for the rest of your life and that evil friend will play with your mind that will make you crazy.Ex:Your best friend is an evil friend and you don't know it and your friend want to kill you and then days later you find out that your best friend want to kill you and your mind it would go crazy saying what I am going to do then your friend tell gangsters to jump on you then the your friend is playing with your mind and you will be crazy because you will think that your best friend is going to do it over and over, you will have fear on you friend.

This quote means that a person should rather face a wild animal that could eat you and kill you instead of a friend that's betraying you and mess up with your mind. In my own words this quote means:"You would most likely be afraid if you have a traitor as a friend than to be afraid of a hungry terrifying animal." Ex: If you are in a dream and there is two roads one where your best friend is talking behind your back and ruining your life and on the other you are in a dark chilly forest with wolves lions tigers bears and other creatures and there is an arrow that's going to help you make the right choice the arrow is going to point at the forest because it's better to die eaten in like 2 second than suffer for like 20 years and than die.

I think this quote means that if you hang out with the wrong people, then that would get you nowhere. Hanging out with the wrong people, will get you mind or focus and the wrong thing they do. That is why you should be afraid of your evil friends the wild beast. For example if you are hanging out with your friends that are failing and have no ambition to get anywhere, then they will get your mind to do the wrong things that they are doing. You should be afraid and stay away from those types of people.

I think this qoute means a friend who is not truthful is a friend who is like a wild beast. Trust can break a friends mind never knowing that a friend will ruin someones mind.
For Example: If a friend told his best friend a secret and his best friend told it to everyone that will ruin that that friends mined.

I think that this quote means that a friend that is two-faced should be like a wild beast to you.You should be very afraid of them because even though a beast may wonud your body, that two-faced friend of yours can wound your mind.
EX:Say for instance that you have heard that a person that you thought was your best friend spoke bad things about when you were not at school one day. That same person is making you believe that they are your friend when they are just playing your true friendship with them. That person is evil and they have hurt you by wounding your mind. They have injured you more than a wild beast that can wound your body.

To me,this quote means: ''An unhonest and bad friend is more scared than a wild beast. The wild beast might try to eat or hurt you, but the evil and bad friend will try to tempt you'' An example is when you are in High School, a crazy friend might do something to you,while your enemy might tell you it's good to do drug and might put you in trouble.

I think this quote means that your friends that you think is your friends is not. You trust them and they play along with it. But once your gone they go and start rumors and tell your secerts and other information you told he or she.

Ex: The day before you leave to move to Hollywood you tell your only bestfriend all your secert. Once you leave she starts to tell everyone your secerts. She played with your mind to know all your secrts to start hurtful rumors.

This quote means that a friend that is not loyal and truthful should be feared more than a wild beast, because when you already put trust into that friend and your mind thinks that they wont try to hurt you , when they DO hurt you it would be hard and unpredictable. On the other hand , a wild beast would just wound your outside and that could be healed easily.

I think that this quote means that an untrustworthy or bad friend is more to be feared because they could hurt you by talking about you or invading privacy, while a wild beast may hurt you but not as much as your evil friend would. An example is posting a private picture on facebook

I think the quote means that some friendships may ruin they way you think. But, animals just put fear into your body. For example: Friends can persuade you to do thing that you will regret.

this quote means that even though a wild beast is scary, a bad friend can be even worst because of the way the act. Ex one day you bring your basketball to school and you let you friends play with it. Then your friend throws it over the gate and it gets ran over by a car. That is an evil and insincere friend.

i think this quote means that you should be scared of a bad friend because they can make you hurt yourself by making you do wrong things, also make you go the wrong path by talking or saying bad things to you. a wild animal maybe hurt your body, but it still wouldn't harm your mind.EX: you've been good all your life and you meet someone that influences people to do bad things, and one day that person tells you to go shoot a next person, and you go do it. you'll be scared of that person cause you don't know what they would do to you !

I think this quote means that a beast can wound you and hurt you but a friend can hurt your heart and mind. A friend could hurt you by not telling the truth and lie to you and they can also do selfish and cruel things to you that can hurt you.
For example: If a friend lied to you and said that im not going to this party I have to go away with my family and then you see the friend at the party that mean you can't trust them wit a secert, they will lie to you.

AN insincere friend ismore to be feared than a wild beast because you always have to be concern or they are always going to be on your mind and you wont be as comfortable as you should be because they are hypicitical and dishonest.
EXAMPLE:You have a friend that you told all your good and bad information to and they went and told a boy or girl who you dont trust so that would make you fear them and feel uncomfortable.

"An evil friend cannot be trusted. The person should be feared more than a wild beast. A beast can hurt you physically, but the person can do two times as much damage physically and mentally."

I think this quote means that a friend may be evil or dishonest and may really hurt you in the future.

Example:Someone has a friend thats on the streets all of the time.The person does not know that though and he is walking with that friend and he gets inured in some way. After that may fear that friend or fear him more if he feared him before that event.

i think this qoute means a fake friend will mess u up in all ways as in them stabing u in your back bhutt an wild beast would just mess up ur skin bhutt it wont get into ur head and make u do bad things.
Ex:if you have a best friend that u tell everything then one day something goes wrong most likely they would tell everybody your buisness and u would be humileated. but an wild beast is just something that would leave marks on your body which is not as bad as being humilated by a close friend. shaniyah green 272

I think this quote means that a friend who wounds you emotionally is worse than a wild beast who only wounds you physically. Physical wounds can be healed but emotional wounds scar you for life.


An example of this is if a friend tells a big secret of yours to the whole school and ruins you mentally.

i think that this quote means that you should fear you friend more than a wild beast because a wild beast is just going to mark you with a scar but your friend on the other hand may run your mind forever.That so called friend can change their back on you and they can also lead you in the wrong position and when you think they are going to be there for you when you need them the most they are just going to turn there back on you.
For ex: you go to the mall with your so called friend and you guys go to macy's and she sees something that she likes but can't aford so she tells you to put it in your bag and you say no and she say oo if you need it i would have done it for you.Than you start to feel under presure so you do it, as soon you step out of the store the alram start ringing she runs out the store leaving you behind what kind of friend does that?

I think that this quote means that a friend that may show dishonesty is even more dangerous than fighting an incredibly strong wild beast. People have survived attacks in the wild but destroying a persons mentality will stay with the person til death.

Friendship is a bond of trust, so integrity and good faith are essential. Your friend may be kind and friendly one-on-one, but treat you differently around others, for instance as their subordinate in order to prop themselves up. At first this might only be a little bothersome, but as time goes on, if it is not addressed, and if your friend continues to misuse you for their aggrandizement, and continues to overshadow you, it will begin to affect your capacity to trust people generally, leading to resentment and paranoia. So it is extremely important to draw the line with such people.
