“If the enemy had no intention of harming us, then we would not classify that person as an enemy... It is his or her very intention of harming us which makes that person an enemy and because of that the enemy provides us with an opportunity to practice tolerance and patience. Therefore an enemy is indeed a precious teacher.”
