Enemy?

There are so many definitions for an enemy. We wonder which one might be right, we combine them to find out if that could be the correct definition, alas, we never end up on an answer.

Hermann Hesse said in a famous quote:

“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.”

So could it be that our enemies are simply those that could be the same as us? Do we really hate knowing that our personality could be shared among others? Is the human race so primitive that we are jealous at base levels? It sure makes sense to me; though perhaps not completely. Even from this I feel there is a gap between the complete definition.

Well, believe what you may, I know that I believe the enemy of my friend is also my enemy.

Me? Rat?

Ugh. This is so annoying! I’m being accused of being a rat.

Gosh. Never in my life have I ever turned my back on someone. I’ve always found a way to not betray anyone and set things right. My middle name means “mediator” and therefore I get into these situations. But I hate being termed a rat because someone tells on someone else, and since I’m apparently the only person present, I get the blame for it.

Can’t help it can I? I guess I can just try and do what I can and watch from the sides as well. The end sets everything right doesn’t it? I can’t remember the exact quote for this though, sorry.

Worst of all, I’m being accused of being a rat by a friend… Not a good friend of mine (so it seems), but I would have appreciated the friendship anyways. Just sucks that whenever I pull myself into these situations I worsen things for myself. Sends me into a greatly depressive mood (not really, but I should get to be sad sometimes =/). The one calling me a rat, for her, I’ve lost such respect for what she’s done. I’ve done so much as to resist my honest side and keep my mouth shut, that only silently I can lose respect for her and close some ties (not to mention she’s not the only one).

Pathetic rant, but what can I do. Have to get this out somewhere. Though I have to find out how to get out of this situation I put myself into. Well, perhaps I will figure something out.
