Who is the real enemy?

Who is the enemy? Is it me? Is it you? Is it them? I suppose we always think it is someone else. We never consider ourselves the enemy, but why not? We are selfish humans. We like to be right, feel powerful, and blame others for things. So when we have to own up to something, we don't like it. The word "enemy" is actually a sneaky word. Sound it out slowly. En-E-Me. It is actually closer to "Inner Me". The word enemy is secretly inner-me. So we are the enemy? This can't be! Oh but it is. We cause ourselves more pain then we realize. We get down on ourselves and take blame for things that others want us to take ownership for. We get inside our own heads and talk ourselves either in or out of something good or bad. We battle with our own feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Most importantly, we have tongues. Those are the true weapons of mass destruction. I would rather be hit in the face then to be told, "You are worthless." It is true that once you say something, you can never take it back. Just like we can't bring people back from the dead either. No matter how much we wish we could, we can't. Just like the words we say. We ruin things for ourselves without even knowing it. Sometimes we are aware of what we say, but we do it anyways because we think it will "prove something" or make an "impact" but it really is only hurting yourself and others more. We have to be more aware of who we really are. Because if you show a side of yourself that is not truly you, you will scar your reputation for good. You will BURN a bridge that you can NEVER rebuild. You will lose people, places, and experiences that you will never get back. Later on in life, or possibly very soon, you will regret it. You will miss people. You will miss the opportunities you could have had. SO be careful. Follow the right path, be smart, and remember what you stand to lose. Try to remember that not everyone is an enemy. Sometimes it is really you, getting inside your head and ruining things for yourself. You can not blame all your history and issues on others. Because we all have a choice to believe, see, hear, and do, what we want. You can't throw other people under the bus and expect them to be there for you. You can get up and walk away and not talk about your feelings and expect someone to come running back to you and keep saying to you, "Talk to me!" Most importantly, you can not make people forget the things you have done to hurt them. Forgiveness is given in rations. It is hard to earn back respect, forgiveness, and even love. Be smart. Hold your loved ones tight. Apologize. Move on. Love.
