That isn't compassion is it? Be careful, in befriending 'your enemies', 'your friends' may become fiends and 'your enemies' cease to help you. Anyway, tell us about your enemies and offer them up to beauty. Of course you won't. |

It's there lack of understanding that gets in the way. In my 10, years of sobrity. They say pray for them for 2 weeks it works. And yes give love and compassion to them . Just as a strom this to will pass. RORY J. CORSIGLIA |

I don't recognize the existence of any enemies. There may be people who regard themselves as my enemies, who may wish me harm , but I don't have to agree with their delusion by wishing them harm in return. The only person I have a hard time feeling any compassion for is myself. |

Mind [thought]:
- enemy
- friend
- friend
- enemy
Tractor [with a full tank] could be friendly enemy.
Tractor [with an empty tank] could be hostile friend.
Both are helpers.

And the internet, you could add the internet, if you've a mind, except when you're shopping that is for books and prints and clicking links - kerching!!!! - or selling stuff on forums - kerching!!!!!!! - and / or copying stuff down for publication and all that jazz.
Any thoughts?
Great post by the way!! |

There's a man, over there, who wants what I want, only he doesn't have it. Do you have Jesus? Don't be so quick to dishonor that remarkable lack of achievement. |

So what's with the anger and it's connection to 'old man'? And you'll have to explain about the apologies if I'm to understand what you mean. |

If you do not like someone you are your own enemy not that person. Your negative feelings towards someone is actually about you. You are not perfect so how can you expect someone else? You are human you are by from being perfect so isn't it selfish and twofaced to expect someone else to be?
When you hate someone or dislike them look within yourself. The problem is with you not someone else. It is easier said than done thinking like this but if you really look within eventually you will see it.
