“Christian
love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more
bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love. Be his enmity
political or religious, he has nothing to expect from a follower of Jesus but
unqualified love. In such love there is not inner discord between the private
person and official capacity. In both we are disciples of Christ, or we are not
Christians at all.”

inevitably, when I can't harm the people who harmed me, I just end up harming
the people who love me. So maybe retaliation or holding on to anger about the
harm done to me doesn't actually combat evil. Maybe it feeds it. In the end, if
we're not careful, we can actually absorb the worst of our enemy and on some
level even become them.”
