I'm sure thereare many here who might go out of their way to help the needy, but honestly, how many of you really would share their lunch with their worst enemy, f they found out that he/she didn't bring lunch that day? It requires a lot of guts and motivation to do this, but are we really that magnanimous?

Enemity comes in two ways.First,you don't like him and so he is an enemy of you.Secondly,he don't likes you and you are an enemy for him.Sharing food with a person who thinks me of an enemy will not be a problem for me but will he accept is a million dollar question.At the same time I will hesitate to share food with a person who I think is an enemy.He may be ready to accept but will I share it with him?Cheers!

Whether the enemy accepts the food that you offer or not is not a major concern. By sincerely offering him food, you show that you care and you mean no harm; if he doesn't see that kind gesture, or if he's egoist, there's nothing you could do except to just let him starve as it's his choice for rejecting your offer.

i will not though i admire those who are magnanimous and kind enough to do so. i always ask myself to get rid of hatred but it's really difficult. i do not do harm to others, but when i find anyone hurts, i cannot help doing something to have my revenge.

I'm sure you're a very nice person and you have your opinion based on what might have happened to you. However, irrespective of what one does to you, I think we shoud in times of need, extend a helping hand to no matter who it may be. That is the true sign of greatness.

Define enemy. If it's rival at work, I have no problem to share (though I might feel reluctant a bit but I still will share, especially if he/she in dire need of food~~~) But if it's a real enemy and I really hate that particular person, he/she can starve. I don't care or will share. Who ask him/her to forget his/her lunch? It's none of my concern

Wow! tough words for a person like you. Be it at work or at home or among associates, an enemy will be an enemy. So your classification of a co-worker in need of food is quite contradictory in the final analysis of the question. However, I do believe that you will assess the situation before reacting the way you do. Thanks for the post.

Yes I would. I believe in loving your neighbour as yourself. Although I don't really have any enemies, I don't think anyone could of done anything that bad to not have anything to eat for lunch. I think there is way too much hate in this world for no reason!
