Before reacting to your "enemies"...

Before trying to make a strategy to defeat your enemies, or, before you react and try to defend yourself, first, you need to humbly come to God, and seek for his advice. Then, at least you will find peace in your mind, and also love, as well as hope. Then, you will be able to see the situation more "objectively".

If you react to the situation and get caught up with emotions...who would like to see that? We need to always try to prepare the way in which God can be involved in our midst.

In other words, we need to be able to see who is the real enemy. Who wants to see us expressing negative emotions just for the sake of justifying myself and blaming the other? You are smart enough to know these things. But, somehow religion has an amazing power to blind the people, always with the same pattern of thought: "I am right and you are wrong." Then you lose sincere humility to "listen to others" and "try to understand them". Then attacking others and feeling righteous, then eventually regret so bad, but maybe a hundred years later. Amazing thing is that you do not seem to be afraid of the "history" which will record every detail of what you say, and what you do.
