Give your enemy a face, if he is human, do not dehumanize him. know him and know why he is your enemy. if your enemy is within you, understand what it is and why you are afraid. put a face on your fear. when you understand it, and it is no longer vague and shapeless, you will find that your fear is no longer so formidable.

Give Your Enemy A Face, If He

Mercedes Lackey
Give your enemy a face, if he is human, do not dehumanize him. know him and know why he is your enemy. if your enemy is within you, understand what it is and why you are afraid. put a face on your fear. when you understand it, and it is no longer vague and shapeless, you will find that your fear is no longer so formidable.

More From Mercedes Lackey

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive

Ordinary men live in fear all the time. didn't you know that? we're afraid of the weather, we're afraid of powerful men, we're afraid of the night and the monsters that lurk in the dark, we're afraid of growing old and of dying. sometimes we're even afraid of living. ordinary men are afraid almost every minute of their lives.

Do not be too quick to assume your enemy is a savage just because he is your enemy. perhaps he is your enemy because he thinks you are a savage. or perhaps he is afraid of you because he feels that you are afraid of him. and perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy.
