Paulo Coelho
The friends of the warrior of the light wonder where his energy comes from.
He answers: “from the hidden enemy.”
His friends ask him who that is.
The warrior answers: “someone we cannot hurt.”
It may be a boy who beat him in a fight when they were youngsters, the girlfriend who left him at the age of eleven, the teacher who called him stupid.
The hidden enemy becomes a stimulus.
When the warrior is tired, he remembers that he has yet to show his courage.
He does not think about vengeance, because the hidden enemy is no longer part of his history. He thinks only of improving his skills so that his feats can be known to all and reach the ears of those who have hurt him in the past.
Yesterday’s pain has become today’s strength.
My respond:
Dear Paulo,
I just can´t stop thinking that it sounds like acting from bitterness.
What thew warrior have forgot is that he himself may have hurt someone sometime, and that he has to forgive himself for his own actions.
As he should forgive the actions from the hidden enemy.
Because the hidden enemy may have acted from fear to save themself from being hurt.
The warrior should seek joy and follow his own dreams and not think about what other people have done or not done in the past.
And if the hidden enemy from the past shows up again he should listen what they want to say, don´t judge them.
They probably want to say I´m sorry.
And maybe they can become friends again ?
We live in the moment, we cannot change the past, and the future isn´t here yet.
We have to turn ourselves into the light and joy, and withdraw from the drama of other peoples life.Become balanced and centred within our selves.
Forgivness is the key and to give people a second chance :-)
Love Jessica
