Thank you Victor Hugo: [excerpt from "I Wish You"] : "But because life is the way it is, I also wish you may have enemies. Not many or too little, just in the right number So that you will have to question your own certainties and truths as well. And may there be among them at least one who is just and fair, So that you can never feel too secure in your ideas."
This is such a challenging and wise point. I have long argued for us to better 'learn to define the enemy' --and, from there work it and change and transform it --and, one's self. Avoiding or denying there are enemies is a transcendent delusion, no better or no worse than any delusion that takes one out of reality (and Reality). -rmf
