Enemies - knowing how to counter them without descending to their level
Life is a school we have been sent to, and in this school we actually do not know which are the teachers and which the pupils. Children, beggars, can teach us, and so can our enemies. Yes, even and especially our enemies, for they are the ones who make us try hardest. Sometimes, it would be quite easy to respond to their slanders and attacks, but not all responses are good. If you retaliate, you always run the risk of lowering yourself to the level of those who are attacking you, and then you dirty yourself as well. It is not forbidden to respond, so long as you can remain at a high level and do not join your opponents in their meanness and spitefulness, because then, even if you appear to win, in fact you also lose a great deal. What intelligence and strength of character you have to show to resist without using the same weapons as your opponents!
