collision: the meaning we hold to words.

 "I have no enemies!"

heavy is the head that bears these words.

 

throughout my unity with life, I have never found more provocative words than these put before me. there is no self-intrinsic meaning to being passive yet at first glance, I was captured by its totality. how can I disregard something innate in the opposite; one being the contradiction of another? how is it that claiming to have no enemies only deprives you of having true friends? even though it seems indifferent it still necessitates having two polar opposites facing each other in a duel lasting a lifetime. let me explain.

Starting off I have never witnessed such change in people applying such philosophy in life and I too have no proclaimed debate against it, as it just is mesmerising to me that people would adopt such a tragic and traumatic mantra. how can I disidentify with my enemy even in the utmost clash between us two, when one decides and manipulates events against the other. if one means harm to me how can I forgive his animosity towards me and so by disregarding him as an enemy I might have assured my own peril in the days or years to come. the problem I have or I seem to be thinking of the most is suffering. How can I bear suffering out of other people's actions against me, and why do I even consider it to have happened, the words "against me " mean so little if we hold meaning to the former saying, thus being unable to decide where I best fit.

Most Western scholars hold meaning in the uttering of "enemy", as being a solemn point in an equation that defies time. one is needed to approve the other os so we think? it doesn't mean one can reside without the other but that to identify the former the latter must be concrete. It can be never so easy to defy the laws of nature and we are doing so by saying these words. we have witnessed the rumble the 48 laws of power have done to society claiming it to be a fallacy to human nature. we couldn't bear to look into the eyes of the perpetrator who could very well be ourselves. that loss we find in the dreamless night couldn't have been more detrimental to our beings so we decided to forgo every true meaning in life even so our enemies.

The heroic element in Thorfines's struggle is the fact of bestowing mercy on our utmost depiction of ugliness, to say we defy what nature has ordained for us, and so we choose to live in the dilemma of our relation with the opposite, even so in a hateful condescending relationship. to have an enemy is to have meaning in your struggle, to have meaning in your struggle is to be offered a choice, either to feel harm that causes disruption to your state leading to a reaction that is very well evident and justifiable yet bearing malice towards the other and partly our selves. or we can choose to be merciful and forgiving, thus attaining some peace of mind. therefore this quote means something. and as we go about our days we must think deeply of what we witness in our lifetime, from diseases, wars, and other monumental events that shape our identity to find meaning and a lesson within.

It hasn't been the easiest accepting the impact residing in this saying. Yet, it was nevertheless the action most needed to fight off the doubt and so to have a choice is better than living in your ideal world where there is no meaning to the word "enemy", and so to conclude, I have been feeling rather graceful looking the other way, evading troubles to come and anguish suffered .through just deciding to transcend what holds malice to my heart. Yet, I am still unable to accept the meaning behind those words as they hold the utmost nativity possible, or maybe I missed the punchline. 

As with time, it proves the best teacher, and so hoping for what lies ahead we can only predict so little, yet with what change has been offering I might seek an answer through this utterance, maybe to find the better solution to my anguish and so to learn and rise anew. defying what the past holds of me, and so to make some use of my fallen ideologies.
