I've always thought that people disliked each other because they were physically similar. I've had experience with this.

People say that opposites attract. You could mean it like magnets or you could mean it as if very different people usually like each other. My mother thinks this, as me and my friends are very different but all still love each other. 'You're interesting to each other,' as she likes to put it.

Anyways I was scrolling through We Heart It and I saw a heart that said something along the lines of 'I'm my own worst enemy', and I thought woah that's some deep shit right there.

And that's when it hit me: What if the reason you hate your enemies is because you're so alike?

But they also say to 'love your enemy' and 'forgive your enemies'

I guess this is why a lot of people like fictional characters they can relate to (and a lot of times are villains or antagonists in some way): because they can love the enemy. The enemy is themselves.

Maybe this makes sense, maybe it doesn't. See this is what goes on in my mind when you leave me alone for a long time.
