“The man of knowledge must be able not
only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.”
Anyone who looks directly into others eyes
and understand the thoughts behind these curtains to soul will be terribly
horrified by things he will see there. There are always things on other side,
the darker side, simple side, the side which we do not look at because it makes
us weary of our own self and the environment- the bubble that we have created
around ourselves to feel comfortable. And these things make one wonder- would
not we be happier if we did not have the understanding to have come to know of
these feelings.
In eyes of people he considers his enemies
will be envy of a kind that comes through helplessness, sometimes respect for
you are able to weather their efforts of trying to reduce into slithering and
maybe at times a little hint of compassion as well. What would that make the
person your enemy then? More often than not it will only be the opinions he
holds for things you desire, you like or you have that makes you feel he is
your enemy. Even if these people are really hate mongers and love to see you
fall, there will be a time that you will find some emotions in their eyes that
will make you think-only if we would have met in other circumstances we would
have been friends.
A friend is a person who knows all about
you. He is still there because what will you do if he leaves you, what will you
think if he leaves you- that he is selfish! At times they would have thought
why they are even with a person like you, epitome of all corrupt and wrong in
this world. They have contempt in their eyes, hidden far behind veil of love,
happiness and other whimsical feelings, but its still there and will always be
there in eyes f anyone who knows you in such a way.
Would not that make you feel that we
should let all friends go their way and free them of the burden of friendship
that makes them so tired and hate us. Will we be able to this without
reciprocating the same hatred. Should not we love all our enemies and absolve
the grudges that holds us far away and demolish the barriers eventually ridding
ourselves of enemies.
What will you be left with in the end?
When you hate all your friends and have empathy with your enemy what will be
the kind of people around you?
