Holy bible advises us to love our enemy. Gita too, exhorts us to treat our friends and enemies alike and impartially. These words of guidance arise from one root that there are no enemies. Anybody who tries to thwart our efforts is not necessarily an enemy. Two points arise from this: one, our so called enemy is trying level-best to inform us about our flaws which need to be set right; second he also reflects his own flaws that need to be attended. Basically, selfishness coupled-to-ego is the usual cause which takes a deadly form of enmity. Budha, Jesus and Gandhi tried to deal with this problem with love, compassion and non-violence. Once our so-called enemy is convinced that we truly love him/her, life on earth shall automatically become what we expect it to be in paradise.
