Suspicion is the cancer of friendship.
Meaning of the quote
Suspicion is like a dangerous disease that can slowly destroy a friendship. Just like cancer, suspicion eats away at the trust and bond between friends, making it hard for the friendship to stay healthy and strong. When we constantly doubt or mistrust our friends, it poisons the relationship and can cause it to fall apart. To keep a friendship thriving, it's important to have faith and believe in one another.
