A person with no enemies is a person with no friends.
They do not oppose, argue, or defend.
They have no opinions of themselves for anyone to hate them over, they have only the opinions of others that constantly shift based on who they’re with.
This person with no enemies doesn’t know how to protect the ones they love, because in treating everyone as an inarguably good person, they fail to see their faults and flaws that hurt themselves and others.
They hurt themselves in attempts to protect themselves.
They don’t want conflict, so they just try to be kind and tolerant of everyone — even the people who hurt them.
They let themselves get trampled on and used to please others. Inevitably, if they refuse to have enemies, they
will become their own.

It is possible to have no enemies, but it is not healthy.
It's okay to not like other people because of the actions they’ve done to hurt you or someone else.
Just because that person has the potential to change doesn’t mean you have to stick around to wait for them to get better and get hurt more in the process.
Having enemies doesn’t mean you have to constantly engage in conflict, nor does it mean you have to have an active pursuit against this person.
You just have to avoid and ignore them when possible, and remind yourself that you respect yourself enough to not get down to
their level.

I don’t wish that I didn’t have enemies. In fact, I wish I had more.
