Some persons ever remain friendly and helpful to some particular type, class of person or to some clearly and distinctly identifiable person. The persons are quite faithul and generate a lot confidence in the category of people they are helping. However, the same persons would not be friendly and benevolent to a different set of persons. At times they may do even harm to persons beyond the favoured circle.

See, when the Sun rises in the morning, the lotus, blooms wide and raises its head out of the surface of water. However the lily flowers that had bloomed and blossomed during night when the moon was shining, would just shrink and wither away as soon as the sun is sighted.

The law of natural selection applies perhaps both for friendships and enmities too.
