So, in general, an American have now more chance to have enemies around him, therefore, to have more chance to love enemiesThey do have the chance to love their enemies but they have to choose to do that and that often requires that they make a change in their thinking, understanding and in their life. I've heard people say that they had to hit "rock bottom" or had to have something "drastic" happen to them before they were able to take steps to make the needed changes in their lives and for many that's when they started seeking God and that is the foundation that is needed to make those kind of changes in a person's life. Then they begin to care about others and are able to love their enemies and no longer have hate. Arno Michaels, the former white nationalist is a good example of this and he said, "I needed something drastic to happen in order to kind of push me over those last couple steps.
My problem lately is that I have no enemies around me
I used to believe that Americans, for example, didn't view other Americans as enemies. There seems to be a view that just because someone disagrees with someone else that it is because of hate. There doesn't seem to be a willingness to agree to disagree. This is especially true with politics. Even worse now there are those who celebrate the death and call for the death of those who have a different political view. Now there are those who view others as enemies, real enemies. There are so many things that have been used to not only divide people but to cause hate and to believe that violence is acceptable and even to take the life of someone is acceptable who has a different political view or just a different view or different belief.
