*Acknowledge Your Enemies*


There is something positive to be gained by acknowledging one's enemies.

Like all of God's creatures, enemies do have a purpose in this world.

They offer a criticism of one's conduct (albeit unsought) that is not always provided by friends.

They also encourage self-esteem. How would we know the magnitude of our own worth without someone so worthless attacking it?

Or, as the Irish are so fond of saying "Better to know the devil that you do than the one that you don't".
