Should we love our enemy?

Hello, dear reader! In this philosophical post, I want to discuss the phrase “You should love your enemy” that many religious people often use.

Should we?

The short answer is no, but it’s not as simple as it sounds.

The most important thing is that we should never do bad things to our enemies. Revenge is bad and only perpetuates evil. We should never answer evil with evil or hate our enemies or anyone else. Hating will never help you, just like revenge. It will only hurt you more.

What should we do then?

It depends on you and what the person did. You have to choose for yourself.

First, you can do something good for that person and show them kindness. Remember, evil will never help you, and maybe that person will change themselves. Remember to never hate!

The other option is to exclude that person from your life if you are able to and just forget them and never see them again. That works too.

Sometimes, your worst enemy can become your best friend.

Why is revenge never good?

Because revenge never helps anyone. It only perpetuates more pain and evil for more people. How do you think it will end? Do you think you will feel better?

For example, if you hurt someone as revenge, then they will hurt you as revenge, and the cycle will never end. It will never make you or that person happy.

Another thing, especially popular in movies, is when someone kills an important person to you, and you want to kill them in return. But ask yourself, do you really think it will help you? It won’t bring back that person to life. You will only do a very bad thing that will likely make things worse.

That is my opinion.

What is the sense of life?

Hello, dear reader. In this post, I want to discuss the sense of life.

What is the sense of life?

I think there’s no right answer for everyone; it depends on the person. I believe that the sense of life is to do things that make you happy, to live a happy and fulfilling life.

How can you find the sense of life?

First of all, you shouldn’t dwell on it too much. There’s no need to “search for the sense of life.” You should just live and enjoy your life. However, it can take years to find the sense to live, to find yourself, to find what you really like. It can be anything, such as playing music, cooking, being a philosopher, or something else.

The most important part is that you should enjoy what you are doing. Think about what you want to do for a while, try it, do it, enjoy it, live by it. Just remember that it shouldn’t hurt anyone else or you. No one deserves to be hurt.

What if you can’t find anything you like, even after trying everything? Maybe it’s just not the right time, or you’re just too young and will understand later. Don’t be upset because of this. Searching for yourself can take months, years, or a lifetime. Eventually, you will find what you like. For now, do what you want, can, and enjoy.

And, remember to always be yourself. Don’t try to be someone else unless it hurts someone. If you’re “not like everyone” and society doesn’t accept you, don’t try to change yourself because of society. Just say to yourself, “Why should I care?” You can be strange, weird, but you should be yourself. If you like white, but the rest of the world likes black, you shouldn’t force yourself to like black.

Your life is yours.
