people who know better but don't apply their knowledge

Do you tell your friends things you know they already know? Like the idea of "loving your enemies" ...I know that they know they should do that, but I find that they are not willing to follow through...not even to try. They prefer to shut people out of their life instead of doing what I know they know they should at least *try* to do! I know that loving your enemies is a very hard thing to do, but the people I am talking about grew up on those principles...it's almost as if they have forgotten everything they have learnt or have taught others. They also taught me that kind of unconditional love. I don't understand why they refuse to even try. I know it is hard but still....they must be at least willing to accept/acknowledge that their attitudes need an adjustment!
