In this world we have a lot to learn from our everyday experiences. Lessons in life that needs to be reflected and pondered that we may enjoy life. I just want to share to you guys what I have learned in this walk of life. The most important lesson to learn is to love one another. We know that it is so difficult to love people whom you know as your enemy. But the mandate from heaven is to love even our enemies. How would you feel about this command? Have you find it hard?

Yes, this is definitely true. As the saying goes, love your enemies as you would love yourself. In all honesty, I can love others from afar, without having them in my life.

Yes,it is really hard to love the one you regard as enemies but only the love can overcome the hate,as famous said,the fastest way to decrease enemies is to make you enemies to become your friends,so we should love broadly.Regard everyone as your friends and never hate anyone and never regard anyone as enemies.just love others.

hello stepje! yes! i strongly agree with you that life indeed is all about love. It is in fact the essence of what life is all about, love. Love for one another, even for those who have wronged you, despised and made your life a hell. It is difficult to do this but if you really put your heart into it, you would find yourself truly loving your fellowmen, without having any ill-will at all for those who have done you bad things in the past. Let there be love..and let it begin with us..

Yes, I agree with you. Life is about love. I feel it is the best command ever. It is hard but if a person looks at the good side of another person then it is easy to find something to love about that particular person. If a person is basically good, it is easy to love that person and his idiosyncracies but if that person is basically evil, I don't think I would be able to love that person even with the command in place.

"Love your neighbor as yourself".During periods of my life less happy I asked what if we hate ourselves? Substituting verb, suddenly becomes a valence biblical commandment that should scare us ...Being filled with hatred and contempt for his person, could we we love those around us? I would be inclined to think not. We will always be tempted to judge our neighbor through the prism of our own faults, we will ask the unconscious to be perfect because we are not and do not consider ourselves worthy of love. And since nobody is perfect, nor will we be able to love. Probably not true unfortunately not being loved, but you can not love.The things I've wanted, we could not get them or battling ever asking me for them. How can you fight for tenderness? Or sadness? Not much can you expect.I think that love lifts us in our own eyes. And how much would you be as you see each other! You wish, and even try to bridge the gap between what you know you are in reality and what he sees in you guess which one I love.To love is, perhaps, the most beautiful light in us.To learn to stitch a smile our face to flourish. It is the gift that we can offer our neighbor, is a gift that we can provide the entire Universe!.

hi stepje yes we all are supposed to love each other and love our enemies too. It is not easy but I do it as they are also fellow human beings and maybe at one time they were my friends. I may not forget what they did to me but I will forgive as hatred is only going to make me sick and it will not hurt the ones you hate.I think its a wise command really even if it is hard.

I am gradually learning more and more each day how to be acceptant of all things, including my enemies. Hate just gives power to that which we direct the hate; love gives us power.
