How Best To Deal with Enemies

What’s the problem with treating everyone around you well, regardless of the circumstances?

We’ve all heard someone say, “I wouldn’t wish that (some sort of pain) on my worst enemy.”

I don’t have a worst enemy; in fact, I don’t have any enemies at all.  It’s not that I’ve never been mistreated, but who lives a better life by cultivating enemies and keeping their slights against us in our minds?

I hope that the sociopathic criminals in our world meet justice, but I think it’s gauche to hope that even a Donald Trump suffers a punishment any worse than what our justice system prescribes.

But take the advice of people far wiser than I could ever hope to be.  You can’t control what other people do, but you can control how you react.
