Being human means somehow trying to navigate your way through a series of interractions with those you love, those you like, those you are related to and those you don't care about. They will all drive you crazy at one stage in your life and your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to keep the ones you love close and set the others free.I forgot I had enemies until a few nights ago. It was a bit of shock really since I have this opinion of my self that I am a very nice and good person. In fact, I haven't always been nice, or good, or behaved with integrity and grace. I try, but mostly I'm just a normal person who is capable of fucking up. We all have our shadow side and if you don't know yours you've got problems cause you'll never be able to keep it in check.
I read somewhere that the opposite of love is not hate but indifference, so what does that say for your enemies who can look at you with daggers of hatred? If they were true enemies, surely they wouldn't care anymore? I may be the enemy in some people's daggerloaded eyes but I am happy to say, I don't think of anyone like that. Takes up too much energy that I would prefer to use to love someone instead.
Martin Luther King said "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies".
So there bitches!
