We Are Responsible For Our Enemy

The last 7 months or so have been a real trial: spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and, even, financially.

I’ve been falsely accused of a heinous crime and have been struggling to make sense of it, while trying to conduct myself with dignity and detachment.

When I examine my conscience and deeply consider this calamity, I find that I cannot, entirely, condemn the troubled individual behind this unfortunate hate crime. On some level I, too, am to blame, for attracting him into my life.

If I were more modest and self-denying, for example, he would not have sought me out as a target for his unsorted negativity. We are responsible for our enemy and, in some strange way, he has seen in me a frightening version of himself.

Think of your own enemies and why you might have attracted them. Also, consider this: a free person has no enemies...

Our inner work is never done. 🙏🏼
