Love your enemy?

I don't personally have any enemies, but I do have a close friend, or at least, I wish she would still be my friend, who did several things that, as some might argue, "ruined my life." The worst of which was when she decided to pretty much walk out of my life. Now she only ever sees me once in a blue moon to just toy with me, just messing with my emotions and such. Coming back into my life just to remind me who she is to then walk out again. I wouldn't say I love her, but I do feel a strong connection to her, even after all this. So I'm not really sure, but this does make it arguable that one may love his or her enemy.

A lot of things are easier said than done. I hold grudges a lot so it will be hard for me. I think it is better to be honest with yourself and to the person and say what you truly feel rather than pretending to be all nice when in fact you actually don't like the person that much.

Well, that's really hard to accept but because of love I need to do it for the sake of someone else...

Its hard for me to love someone who ruined my life. It would take too much time. I'm not perfect so it would be really really really hard for me. Whenever I see someone who did something bad to me, I can't help but think of the wrong things he done. It depends on the offense also. If its just simple, I can still forgive and love that enemy but if he really ruined my life, it would take a bit long.

Hello Bashful87 , in my case it is not at all possible to love the person who had hurt me. Anyway I smile at him, but I don't love him/her. In some case, if the fault is mine, I may love him, but in too rare cases only. But I have to say that it is good to have relationship with enemies too .

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you.

Hi Bash, It is hard to love one's enemy. However, justice cannot be put aside for those who has done us some wrong. Hating them does not correct things, loving them would put our minds at ease, making us sleep tight at night. There's justice and there's punishment. It is not in our hands to give them though.

It's not easy to love your enemy and I think just making an effort to forgive is at times about all one can do in some circumstances ...still I do think we need to attempt it and my favorate is 'Let go and let God'

Hai friend.. This was a good topic which resembles humanity..The person who ruined your may also have some good qualities in his nature. If he recognizes his fault just try to except the person as your friend otherwise no matter of thinking about him/her..

Yes I love to anybody even animal or human being, friend or enemy no matter only laughing and fun is my life. So I love to everybody but nobody loves me ahhaha..

Hmm.. it is actually on case to case basis. It depends on the person's worth. If it's alright to take a chance to love your enemy. I actually don't waste my time loving my enemies. I think I am only adding sadness in my life. Well, I just don't like the idea of keeping an enemy on your life. I don't think you'll have a wonderful life then.

yes..by giving him/her a pardon..=)
