Da.
Si, nice words before I sleep
If I have enemies, I don't know who they are. I don't even know why someone would devote that much time and energy to little ole me anyways.
In any case, I choose not to acknowledge enemies. You should never give anyone that sort of power over you, imo.

Si. Personal strength and healing is a very important thing. You must kill the enemy within before you can love yourself and others.
Interesting perspective!

The proverb points to transcendence, and not to whether it can be shoehorned into your current way of thinking within five minutes.
What do you mean by that?
Pondering....

I think you complicated it. lol
I think it just means that if you know who you are and are secure in yourself, then no one can tear you down, so to speak. For example, if someone insults your appearance or intelligence, their words will only hurt you if you in fact doubt your own smarts and question your own looks. It means that you are in control of your happiness.
Is this ^ what you're saying?

Give me some time.....
I was dealing with "limp handshake" (
) for a few hours and as I wrote before, I had to ponder the statement for a few minutes....
I guess when I read this I was thinking two things. First, that this "enemy within" is also referencing personal desires, needs and wants, not necessarily just insecurities or weak points in your character that can be easily exploited by others. But putting that aside, the second thing I thought of was what Seraph hinted to, which it this statement is talking about a way of thinking, a process that must occur every single day. A person doesn't suddenly just shift their way of thinking or stop "fighting" this enemy within--if at all.
In many ways (not all), the person you are is shaped by other people--what they think and say about you. For example, the reasons you think you are a good mother is because your children??s success, physical and mental well-being and personal feedback (or the feedback from others) reflect this or say that you are a good mother. Without this reflection or feedback how would you define what a "good mother" is or know you??ve achieved this goal? So, if other people have this much influence on how you view yourself, how easy would it be to get rid of the "enemy within"? This type of influence would also suggest that other people will always have an impact on you (or the ability to ???hurt?? you).
I understand the proverb was referring to enemies (or even strangers), but do we only struggle with the sh*t that our enemies try to throw at us?
