An enemy makes you a better person.

It is a pure and simple argument, shocking even. In most matters of the heart, the concept of darkness is a complicated one. However, the art of having an enemy is as pure and as ancient as time itself. We need enemies to challenge us, to be the catalysts towards striving for our goals, and to help us remember what it is we believe in. If you were ever unsure of who you are and what you wanted, the enemy will help you abruptly discover what you are not, what you do not want, and furthermore, who’s in your god damn way.

Before we go any further, I should define what an enemy is. There is no gray here; there is no halfway. Identifying an enemy in your life is a spirited and passionate endeavor. You cannot explain why, but seeing your enemy suffer or fail makes your laughter so much more spellbinding, so much more entertaining- so much more vivacious. It’s like breathing sunshine. If you can not identify an enemy in your life you are either a blind idiot, or have been living a more-than sheltered existence.
