Consider love as the very best of the human condition. You are at your very best when you are committed to the opposite of hatred, fear, or jealousy. No, you don’t need to love your enemy in the biblical sense. Instead, we suggest that if you place love as the central doctrine in your mind, then hating and loathing your enemy will become obviously non-productive and self-defeating. If you view people and events in your past with love, and with the capacity for tolerance and forgiveness, then those people become unimportant. Ultimately, their hurtful words and deeds become irrelevant to you. Love is the cure for hatred and vengeance, benefiting you more than anyone else. Elevate your perspective.
