Who the hell has 'enemies'? Damn, that's some pathetic shit.

You know what Sky needs in order to be really effective at her persecution complex? An arch nemesis. Batman has an arch nemesis.
Sky needs her own crptonite.

I will agree to disagree.
Most of us do exactly that. We don't see each other clearly, we see each other through eyes of attachment and aversion. Continuously exaggerating qualites positive and negative.
You can speak for what you feel most do, but you cannot speak for me, which is why I'll just bow out of the conversation gracefully. I'm so graceful in my bowing that even if I accidentally shitted during the bow people who saw it with their bare eyes would never be convinced that something so beautiful and amazing had just shat.

You speak for yourself just fine. Are you saying you're identical to the Dalai Lama? More power to you.
I think it's more likely you don't understand this contemplation.

No, what I'm saying is that I do not look past the positive traits of my enemies nor ignore the negative traits of my friends, personally. I can only speak for myself.
And the reason that it's a faulty premise is because we *are* indeed all individuals who think and view things in unique ways.
It's counterintuitive to "not" stereotype, which is why I don't blame you, but people are all special in their own way. Once you can have empathy for your enemies they don't usually stay enemies for too long, at all. That's sort of the point, innit.
I have a few enemies and alot of strangers in my life.
Friend---Is that a person you can trust? I have a hard time trusting people, including my own family.
How can one develop an equal, kind, regard for "friend, enemy and stranger"?
Friends, enemies and strangers. We exaggerate the positive qualities of our friends, while ignoring or minimizing their flaws. We do the opposite with our enemies. We exaggerate their negative qualities, ignore or minimize their positive qualities and we are indifferent to strangers.

Friend, Stranger or Enemy by David W. Edgerly, Ph.D.
I spent about a month one time contemplating this topic. It's pretty illuminating.
Describe a friend. For me, my friends know me well and they love and accept me as I am. They want me to be happy. They support me in my goals. They exaggerate my positive qualities and they minimize my negative ones.
My enemies want me to be unhappy. They delight in causing harm. They exaggerate my negative qualities and ignore or minimize my positive ones.
Strangers are neutral.
Do i not except you for who and what you are?
Have i ever told you to fuck off or fuck you?
Did i or did i not respect your limits on what can and cant be said in regards to shoving bullshit up your ass?
Have i sent you mean spirited neg reps?
If you think friend are only their to support your goals, ideas and whims... and do not challenge you on anything.... you need some better friends who are real friends and are not yes men.
True friends will kick your ass when you are being an idiot or think you are getting yourself into trouble. Good or bad they will voice their opinion...regardless if you like it or not.
Friends do not always have to agree. Friends do not always have to like each other. Friends are the ones who will show up when you are on your last leg and help you up. Friends are the ones who know every evil thing about you and still like you. Friends are the ones who like you in spite what others think of you.
A friend sees you truly...and honestly. Good and bad, without exaggeration either way.
how is that for a start?
We are acquaintences, not friends. Friendly acquaintences, but not really friends. We don't know each other well enough to be friends.
Friends, enemies and strangers. We exaggerate the positive qualities of our friends, while ignoring or minimizing their flaws. We do the opposite with our enemies. We exaggerate their negative qualities, ignore or minimize their positive qualities and we are indifferent to strangers.

Sky,
I think the premise is flawed. We don't always do what your opening sentence says we do to begin with.
G.T.
IMO, the premise isn't flawed. Most of the time, due to attachment and aversion we either exaggerate the positive qualities of our friends and minimize their negative flaws while we do the opposite to our enemies.
Consider a common US enemy according to many people. Muslims. People who hate Muslims exaggerate their negative qualities and ignore or mimimize their positive ones.

Another example of enemies: conservatives and liberals on this forum. Each hating the other and putting them down.

Further on the topic, you also can't say that enemy means the same to all, either.
For instance, if I consider someone an enemy, it's because they've probably done something so beyond the pale of being a good person that they wouldn't DESERVE equal regard with those whom I'd consider a friend, unless they made amends with me regarding what they've done.
Friends, Enemies, and Strangers, it's called Profiling. Seriously, does Anybody fit into your packaging? Anybody at all?
