first of all i don't have enemy, and i don't want to have one, and if with some unavoidable circumstances im going to have an enemy, i would never waist my time loving them, i will just ignore and avoid them as mush as i can, but loving an enemy??? never...

I really do not also have enemy but someone treats me her worst enemy.I really do not see her as my enemy because she was my friend before. I also just ignore her just to stop the issue that she had made.I have nothing to do with her anymore for I have explained my side already and still she insist the issue.I have my own life and continuing to argue with her is just a waist of my precious time.

I agree. There is no way I will love my enemy. I will be so plastic if ever that happens. Never in my life will that happen. But like you, I don't have enemy yet. lol. But I'm not wishing to have one. Oh yeah, I remember. I think I have. There was this one girl last week who sent me a message on facebook saying a lot of bad things about me and my family. But I don't consider her as an enemy. I consider her as a stranger who don't know me well. God bless us all.

I think that is a great way of keeping yourself stress-free. you know what I do to people who thinks that I am their enemy? I give them gifts so that they'll know that I am not the kind of peron that they think I am.

hey that's a remarkable way of of keeping yourself stress-free, but ask of me, i'll just rather give gifts to my love ones, i really can;t afford do what you have in mind, but then again everyone has his or her own choice of what to do with a certain circumstances, if you believe giving gifts to the people who think you are their enemy, then the choice is yours,.

I'm usually nice to every body I meet, so hopefully I don't have an enemies! I've heard the saying, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." That statement wasn't meant to love your enemy though, I don't think?

I can't grasp the idea of "loving my enemy" either. Your enemy is your enemy for some reason and to love them is something I couldn't/wouldn't do. Unless, it's to just love them like you would anybody that is a human being.

i admire your kindness, i can;t really comprehend the idea ''love your enemy'' because the very statement is like pushing one to make an enemy first, which i think is the worst idea, then after some a lot of effort finally one had created an enemy and then loving it? it's just totally crazy, being nice is my choice too, imagine if everyone is nice to each other, what a wonderful world..

Same here, if I have someone whom my attitude don't match with, I'm not gonna love them too. Actually I know someone whose attitude is not good, and I don't talk to him. I'd be fake to myself if I will still talk to him or be the same with him. I just ignored him and remove all communications with him. Its not that I don't love him humanly, I just think that it'd be better of if I don't have any businees with him.

Yes, I guess this is really hard to do. It's written in the Bible.
Love for Enemies Matthew 5:43-47
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
If I can't love them, I guess I'll just forgive them if ever I have one. Happy mylotting.

Hi kongno, I have a friend before who ask me to be her guarantor I did but she didn't pay her loan so I was obliged to pay it , I ask for reimbursement but she never pay me when in fact I'm more in need because I'm a widow with kids and she was single. I can't call her really an enemy but she hurt me, I don't curse her and even don't say bad who rds to her. But I can't say that I love her, she was before a friend of mine and I let God decide and be my judge. I don't want to save hatred in my heart but I can't love her if we call her my enemy.
