I have no enemies. There may be clash of interest as well as difference in opinion. This does not and must not generate enmity.
I think there is no human being with zero enemies on earth.[/quote
As I stated, difference in opinion and competition do not make enemy. Rivalry is not enmity. Moreover, enmity arises from three causes: Land, woman and money. I have no land, no woman and no money. There is no cause for enmity.
@Robert...
You quoted Gulshanji's answer twice and answered in two different ways. surprising!!!!
Now coming to the quote.

Let me add a little more, that 'good', was never a harm to an innocent man, I agree. Otherwise not!!
That's implied Sandhya " Standing Up for something" says Standing Up for something good. Then how it can harm an innocent?
I didn't get the meaning of this phrase fully :blink:

I too cant understand what it means. It would be useful if explanation is given on this. Eagerly waiting for that.
Enemity is a strong word which implies an ongoing issue that has some unresolved problem between people.There will be minor misunderstandings and difference of opinion with people , but to call them as enemies is too strong a word.Again, you might feel strongly negative about someone today because of some issues but you may feel differently later on....so I would say that one cannot have enemies unless one has had a long standing mis understanding or a family feud.
People turning in to bitter enemies on trivialities is not an uncommon scenario.

Dictionary meaning of “Standing up for something” is To remain stable, upright, or intact. It’s used for positive and noble purposes only. If someone says ‘Gandhi Ji stood for self-reliance’, it means Gandhi Ji was firm and uncompromising for achieving self- reliance.

Gulshan ji, You may treat noone as enemies. But definitely there will be atleast one person who treat you as enemy. Then how can you say you are no enemied person?
So far, nobody has considered me enemy or done anything to harm me. Hence, I can't say that anyone is my enemy.

Oh yes it can happen when money or any kind of personal or financial gain is concerned, also people go berserk over property matters and such enmity can go on for generations together...

I am sure that I have few enemies. But i never be the reason for anyone to become enemy. So I am not responsible for this.

Standing up for something- means just 'supporting some cause'. This is to strongly support something that you consider right.

The best thing to do under such a situation is to let things take their own course instead of aggravating it nor going all out to make peace, ultimately things do work out for the better !
I hope I have none, I exist as an enemy in the perception of others - may be for all the wrong reasons!!!
That always happens and one should not really bother as long as you are clear about your own perception and deeds..the more we consider other peoples opinion the more they tend to draw us in..

You are your own master and pupil. You are the teacher and you are the pupil. Do what's good and do what your heart says come what may.
