What is an enemy? Is it a person who wants to hurt you? Most people would agree to this description. In fact, here is what the dictionary says:
Enemy: One who feels hatred toward, intends injury to, or opposes the interests of another; a foe
But I think there is no such a thing, because no one wants to hurt anyone else. People only do things to feel better themselves. Unfortunately, these actions sometimes cause pain to others, but that is not the intention.
I wanted to say, “We are our worst enemies”, but I do not believe it either. We never ever hurt ourselves intentionally. We intend to feel better, and when it does not work, we feel hurt.
Do you suffer from “gadjanja”? Of course not, because you do not know what it is. I made it up.
In exactly the same way, “enemies” do not exist. We made them up.
