Undertake a Vital Task


The great spiritual masters believe that the capacity to love our enemies

is one of the vital tasks of human evolution.

original tao: Hi Sarra,

The challenge is, rather, for the practitioner who is hated by an enemy to develop and maintain sincere, unwavering love for that enemy, without end.

PLease forgive my alteration of your emphasis for this quote's main thesis...Tao

And, just to make a point, it is an unknown until attempts are made, as to whether a particular enemy would posess the qualities needed in an effective ally. Trust, loyalty, and intelligence, and a fourth, too, comes to mind: that a commitment to eschew violence is agreed between the former enemies.
