Did not Jesus say, "Love Thy Enemy"? but this is one of the most difficult things to do. If one can learn to love her/his enemy, then the transformative power of love has manifested. one no longer has an enemy. one has a friend.
The Dali Lama says, "It is our enemies who provide us with the challenge we need to develop the qualities of tolerance, patience, and compassion".
Everything has mind in the lead, has mind in the forefront,
is made by mind.
If one speaks or acts with a corrupt mind, misery will follow,

Everything has mind in the lead, has mind in the forefront,
is made by mind.

like a shadow that never leaves.
"He reviled me; he injured me; he defeated me; he deprived me."
In those who harbor such grudges, hatred never ceases.
"He reviled me; he injured me; he defeated me; he deprived me."
In those who do not harbor such grudges, hatred eventually ceases.
Hatreds do not ever cease in this world by hating,
but by not hating;
this is an eternal truth.
