How do you deal with an enemy who you think ruin your life in some way? You can never love them, am I right? Because the hate you feel for them is insurmountable.
Is it possible to love your enemy? I don’t think so! What about the saying; Love your enemy as you love yourself, Am I got it right? Maybe you can love them if they are not anymore your enemy but if they are your foe, anger would be the driving force not to like them.
If you hate your enemy then hate your enemy, if you are angry then show it in a right way and if you are disgusted expose it. What better way to be frank and be true to yourself than displaying your true emotion to the person rather than keep it to yourself.
One thing I’ve learned lately is to be calm whenever an enemy is attacking me, by doing so I can think clearly what strategy I have to put up to counter attack the opponents. It might not be counter attacking by the use of physical presence but to defeat the enemy mentally, because if they are in rage they use all the anger emotion without thinking. So that is the vulnerable spot to work on, use their mental state to advance the counter strategy.
Never under estimate your opponent or anyone because that will back fire on you. Love and Hate will not go hand in hand because they are contrast to each other but you can try to merge them, then see it for yourself what would be the result.
But you can always respect the person you hated so much. Do we need to respect, when all the anger we are feeling is because of abhorrence with that person. Yap you need to respect an enemy because that’s a sign of intellectual prowess you had. It’s like being sports to an opponent, May the best person wins. Character should also be part of the whole equation.
Be considerate also that you have to be fair to the other person. If he/she can’t handle the attack anymore then give due time to recover or wait for the white flag to be raised by him/her and the acceptance that he/she been conquered.
But all you know there is no such thing as fairness, so you have to always adjust to any situation and deal with it. Be tough but with a compassionate heart. There is always separates the winner from the loser and that is the heart to understand.
Appreciate the things that your enemy brings to the table because that is one way to test your whole being. They are always there to test what you’ve got and how you can cope up with it. Testing the limit in distress could help you grow.
You don’t need to love your enemy; respect is enough to send that message. Be wise, because enemies are different in form and mental state. So always be aware!
