Enemy

"Everyone has an enemy. It's a law of nature. The will of man is steeled by resistance, by struggle. Nevertheless, every time someone blows at us, let us take an account of ourselves, is it because of something we have done? If we have done wrong, let us atone for it. If not, let us do him as much good as we can. But there are also enemies who are not our enemies through our fault. Let us not do evil to them either. Let us only raise a shield, but let us not shoot back. Such enemies are animal men. Let us watch them with cold calm. For me, one of my pleasures is to do good to such an enemy when I can - behind his back. He must not know it, for that would be a submission. Let the imperfect man remain my enemy rather than become my friend."
