Question:And do you classify them as good or evil at all?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: And do you classify them as good or evil at all?

...I have enemies...not many, but a few...I don't think of them as good or evil, really...they are just who they are for one reason or another, we have arrived at the opposite sides of the fence...
such is life

no, none that I know of.

My enemies are not living entities they are more tendencies and inclination such as ignorance , procrastination and sloth. Often uncertainty and fear of new situations can upend me. But I do not consider any of these enemies evil. I thin k of them as challenges to overcome.

I'm sure I do but I don't care. either people like me or they don't, I'm not here to make everyone happy. I tried that and was miserable. they are neither good or evil to me

if i do then its merely based on perspective... in my eyes they are evil and wrong and i am right (going off human nature here where we place ourselves first) in his/her eyes I am evil and wrong

no. its stupid and just very annoying. i'm very nice to everyone, even if i don't like the person. its in my nature to be nice and i try to be friends with everyone, or at least get along and try. i'm very positive and friendly, and its really a good thing.

Besides myself?
None, that I know of. I haven't done anything wrong to anyone. I know a lot of jealous people though. Jealousy has been the predominant "makers of enemies" in my life as I have been very lucky.

If I have enemies, I don't consider them as such. I certainly have encountered people who have, in my view, wronged me in some way. But if I label them as enemies, I feel that I am giving them a position in my life story that they really don't deserve to hold.

On the other hand, if I've hurt someone to the point that they consider me an enemy (and I know I've hurt people...), my regret at having hurt them nullifies the receiving end of that enemydom. And doesn't the state of being enemies require a sort of reciprocity?

That said, I certainly have known people who have elicited in me a sense of being harmed or treated unjustly to the point where I no longer wish to associate with them -- and perhaps have created that same reaction in others (albeit regrettably so). But the older I get, the more I seek to forgive and be forgiven.
