If they are my enemies, when it is more importantly I who has the problem with them. I am the one harbouring ill will towards them... Not to say that they do not reciprocate the feelings, but that would mean that I am their enemy, and that is not the question here...
If I don't have a problem with them, then they are not my enemy, and there for it is not I who has the problem... Not to say that I can't be the enemy of someone who isn't an enemy to me, (I hope I haven't lost any of you...).

This is a very important matter of personal responsibility and personal management. First of all, I cannot afford to assume that some people are my enemies already. I must be sure about that. For any speculative thinking here would certainly prove fatal in the consequence. I know that only I can be sure about what is important and what is not in my life, and what is problem and what is not, no one else can, and definitely not people who I am not clear about myself. What if the people I consider my enemy stop feeling animosity about be? And all acrimonious feelings could just be in my side of the equation. Even if they are not and issues are real, I would like to consider them my matter and my problems that need to deal with and manage. Similarly what other people think within themselves is their problem and that they have to deal with.
I would not however say that certain things are my problems but I would regard what is unavoidably in my mind and in my life as very important personal matters relating to other people that I will try to take full responsibility of. I would not throw it away upon other people. This way I keep thing well in the grasp of my mind where I can mange them. I do not normally like animosities but every now and then I do like to tell some one that I have problem with them because of this or due to that, etc.

Since I don't have anything to do with those that I consider my enemies it's, definitely, there problem.

If I had enemies, it would be their problem. I didn't ask them to be my enemies, so let them worry about it.

If your enemies can cause problems..e.g. hurt you in any way. then it is your problem. If it just a person you dislike and they got no effect on your life then tough..just ignore them!

The enemy is always hiding within, it's mater of tracking him down vigilantly. When you meet him, you must meet with wisdom.
That is why you should Love your enemies!

My enemies are people who most reflect what I don't like about myself.

Depends on the circumstances - best to know who you think your enemies are, without them realising it!!
