Well McGrath, you must be a candidate for sainthood, because I don't love my enemies either. I just try and remain detached about them, and wary, certainly. That is quite wise, IMO. I also don't want to come off as holier-than-thou about this, because a) I'm no saint, and b) I'm not perfectly consistent about this. I struggle with feelings of hate too. But it usually doesn't take me long nowadays to realize I'm angry and frustrated and appalled, etc etc. But being angry, etc doesn't require me to hate.

But not hating my enemies doesn't mean I have to love them, either, IMO. That would be much too Catholic a solution, for my tastes (I was raised Catholic). I'd much rather settle for being detached about them, and dancing with my own demons.
