"Another way that you love your enemy is this:
When the opportunity presents itself for you to defeat your enemy, that is the time which you must not do it.
There will come a time, in many instances, when the person who hates you most, the person who has misused you most, the person who has gossiped about you most, the person who has spread false rumors about you most, there will come a time when you will have an opportunity to defeat that person.
It might be in terms of a recommendation for a job; it might be in terms of helping that person
to make some move in life. That's the time you must do it. That is the meaning of love. In the final analysis,
love is not this sentimental something that we talk about. It's not merely an emotional something.
Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system." - Martin Luther King Jr."Not until we are crushed do we show what we are made of." ~Bohumi HrabalThe deep parts of my life pour onward
As if the river shores were opening out.
It seems that things are more like me now
That I can see farther into paintings.
I feel closer to what language can’t reach.
With my senses, as with the birds I climb
Into the windy heaven, out of the oak
And in the ponds broken off from the sky
My feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.Moving Forward, Ranier Maria Rilke (1902)

**If you want to request my friendship, please write a quick note stating why.** I don't want a free iPod, and I don't need your self-help, make-money-at-home crap. Please don't try to sell me ANTHING. Thank you :)I don't want to meet anyone who's not a benefit to society in some way. I don't wanna meet anyone that claims empathy, but knows nothing of it in day to day life.I don't wanna meet the irresponsible, the unhumble, or Litter Bugs. I don't wanna meet anyone who tries to be like everyone else....Or who tries too hard NOT to be.I DO wanna meet: Artists. People with true humility. People with open minds and hearts, with their own thoughts, and something to say worth saying. Ventriloquists, writers, photographers. People who don't judge me. People who treat each other with respect. People who help to change the world for the better. Mothers in Las Vegas who feel like they don't quite fit in (!). Natural childbirth enthusiasts. People who try to make the world a little more interesting by leaving their mark on it. People who make me question what I believe, or don't, but not by shoving their beliefs down my throat :)
