Enemies

December 2, 2009 at 10:46 am (Emotional Subjects) (Enemies, Friends, lessons, revenge, trust)

I can honestly say i have had a lot of pride in acknowledging that i don’t have that many enemies. However I must say, it does not matter how many enemies you have, in the end those enemies become your best friends, and of course your best friends have a tendency of becoming your enemy.. .. So let’s get into a subject in which we all love…

Lets talk about getting back at someone; Don’t advertise what you are going to do, and please don’t talk too loud, because in the end the sounds become louder than a blow-horn; I know I know; But LostMinD why should we suffer and hold on to this pain caused by the other person? There’s no reason for you to suffer my people, there is no reason for us to stand down and be thrown into the ravages of revenge… I have one thing in perspective, and that perspective gives me a power over others that I can responsibly turn into something amazing; Believe me, every one has theirs due, there is not a crime we commit that we do not suffer for (though i noticed that there is no way to find out which one we are getting paid back for)…

Here’s a magical secret that i have held within me for a while; If its nothing new to you, my beloved wife (soon to be ex-) had a relationship with another male while i was out in Afghanistan protecting the very freedom they both enjoy so dearly (where does that leave me?). I wish it ends there, but it doesn’t, she is also having his child… (shocker)… (here’s the climax) when i was home on RnR i flew my wife to stay with me and the family in Miami, so you know, we could build a successful future together… how did that turn out for me? …. she tried telling me that the baby was mine… sadly I can say that she tried it, and still continued to insult my intelligence,  even though she knew that i knew better (evident by her reaction when i told her it wasn’t mine). Yes my people, there is a war waging on inside all of us, and that war has taken its root amongst us young and ignorant children (me being no exception). Where does that leave me i ask again? Ill tell you where it leaves me; torn in between two very strong realities (i know you are curious as to what those realities are, however, all cannot be told).

A wise man said do not overestimate your enemies, but never underestimate them either. Get your facts and pursue what “you” believe is right…

Lets do a quick check on me, who are you LMD? what do you bring to this world… ?? hmm (this is a tough one) I know!!!!!! I have brought nothing but an intellectual perspective, with a twist of youth and a touch of wisdom….

Stay in touch this continues…

Those that know me understand the mental condition that I am in. I am a little heart-broken, however still slightly above the pain with a will to pursue my plans. I do plan on doing some great things in life, and I do not plan on doing them alone… You see God has blessed me with just enough greed to get things done, but not enough for me to want to get all the benefits for my self… Enemies…

If this is not making sense to you, then obviously I have left out a few minor details. Lets recap shall we? Acknowledgment of enemies, understanding their importance, revenge for what your enemy has done to you, why revenge should not be advertised, why revenge though sweet leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, how my enemy was made, advise for me, what i bring to the world and the condition I am in… that should pretty much cover my rough draft.

Basically, I understand that pain is what we must go through to learn… Who better to learn from than those whose sole objective in life is to invoke pain on us? Our enemies my people are what allows us to have some kind of motivation in the morning; they give us a purpose in life, a direction we can chose to walk and conquer… Three things that a leader must have the ability to do, a leader must be able to influence you to do things by providing direction, motivation and purpose! All comes back to, yes you guessed it, enemies. So again, why do we want to remove our enemies from this earth? why must we pursue our judgment upon them, if in fact our enemies are that which keep us thinking? Have we forgotten the greatest friend we have? “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer”  – Sun-tzu in the art of war; Now this writer had the idea to the tooth! how else are we going to eliminate our pain and suffering, if we keep neglecting our foes and adopting to only be surrounded by “friends”- Think about it, if your friend was indeed just that; but whats to stop your “friend” from being an extremely intelligent opponent? My biggest enemy is me, and in me I hold the dearest bond of friendship… Get the picture? Enemies—

Just a thought:

the next time a friend administers some pain to you, maybe you should challenge that “friend” and treat him/her as an enemy; notice the behaviors, the speech patterns, the looks, the people they hang out with when not with you; after all of that is said and done, ask yourself, was this truly my friend? or was this person a truly clever enemy?

friend

1. Friend: a person you know well and regard with affection and trust; “he was my best friend at the university”
2. ally: an associate who provides cooperation or assistance; “he’s a good ally in fight”
3. acquaintance: a person with whom you are acquainted; “I have trouble remembering the names of all my acquaintances”; “we are friends of the family”
4. supporter: a person who backs a politician or a team etc.; “all their supporters came out for the game”; “they are friends of the library”

Enemy

1. an opposing military force; “the enemy attacked at dawn”
2. an armed adversary (especially a member of an opposing military force); “a soldier must be prepared to kill his enemies”
3. any hostile group of people; “he viewed lawyers as the real enemy”
4. foe: a personal enemy; “they had been political foes for years”

How prepared are you for the battle of life? How many foes have you faced in your time? Who is your biggest foe?

Better yet, WHO DO YOU TRUST? really….
