OK, myself. I understand that. But what happens when I am no longer my own enemy - when I have reconciled my relationship with myself. Then who is my enemy?

Yourself, what pulls you together will also pull you apart.

It is a fact that somebody else can rightfully be an enemy. Enmities are borne out of a strong difference between two entities, so strong that they forego their similarities and embrace the wrath that swells up inside thier veins. So, in short, anyone you feel strongly different about, enough to want to fight with, he will be an enemy. Whether it is right or wrong...that was not the question.

In human history this is precisely the base cause of all struggles. Man has thrown away the concept of harmony and made enemies of one another. If you can muster enough courage to emphatize and understand the other, given the seemingly irreconcilable differences you may have, then you will not have enemies in life. And all will be harmonious.

The self: the Will is positive, the Judgment is negative. If the Judgment is wrong, then the self is an infidel. The Will defined positive is only wrong by birth deformity and fails to know a good thing but the Judgment may know all the bad things its function normally allows in the universal nature in a species, the disability would be peculiar as a particular of a universal. A Judgment that is wrong in an other could be your enemy if you are identified as a negative universal. If you are a negative particular in a universal, but that universal is identified as a positive in the other, then you are negatively peculiar for the other.

The people you hate. You should know them. They are the assholes you work with. The dipshits you buy your coffee from. The pricks you can't believe you're related to. But certainly, they are not a group of people in another continent or an omniscient force of nature.

Just remember to keep your enemies VERY close because when you lose sight of them, you hate them not for who they are, but who you THINK they are.

Most believe in world peace and love. John Lennon was a great man but an idealist. The truth is, I have no problem with hate and war. They are but valid aspects of our psyches and nature itself. It's just the way in which people redirect this hatred and frustration into falsified enemies across the globe. How can you hate an man you've never even met let alone kill him?

My advise is, if your questioning others as to who your enemy(ies) ought to be, then you need to deal with the people who you have convinced yourself you do not hate/dislike. When was the last time you were in a fight?

We can no longer avoid day-to-day personal conflicts only to formulate barbarian images of other peoples as aan outlet for this hatred.

So I say to you, uplift your societal cross-hairs and refocus them on your TRUE enemies. Watch them carefully. Listen to them intently. Understand why you hate them, and never lose grasp of that reason.

Non-existence, from which you have no power within your own nature alone, that can save you.

Anyone who smiles in your face.
Remember the song? "smiling in my face, all the time trying to take my place, back stabbers, back stabbers."
