One of my favorite characters in world history! No nonsense, plain speaking, and no compromising with evil. This statement is thought provoking. Puts a different slant on having enemies. And made me realize that a few of the relationship breaches in my life HAVE been because I stood for a principle that I truly believed in. Of course we are not allowed to leave the breach as is. We must fill that hole with love for our enemies even if we don’t agree.
To have every one agree with you all the time is your worst enemy. Why? Because it stunts growth. Where would this world be if every one agrees with you. What pushes one to think; “Well, maybe I am wrong in this idea, I’ll do some rethinking.”
Just suppose if the world listened to Winston Churchill. Maybe WW11 wouldn’t have been, HUHH!
