The Open Question July 8: What changes a foe into a competitor, or even a friend?

Hey y'all,

This week nations are bombing each other on one front, and playing each other in the World Cup on another. Has me contemplating this spectrum of enemy to ally, and where and how that's changed in my personal life.

So this week: What changes a foe into a competitor, or even a friend?

other angles:

What turns a competitor back into a foe? (the line going the wrong way)
When shouldn't a foe become a friend; eg which rivalries are worth keeping sharp?
What brings genuinely different people together? Especially in a way that preserves differences (like the World Cup)?
When did someone stop being your enemy, and how did it happen?

Or if you just want to talk about the World Cup, we're here for that too.

Lots of love, and see y'all online at 5p CST today.
