Enemies
If you are not to become a monster,
you must care what they think.
If you care what they think,
how will you not hate them,
and so become a monster
of the opposite kind? From where then
is love to come – love for your enemy
that is the way of liberty?
From forgiveness. Forgiven, they go
free of you, and you of them:
they are to you as sunlight
on a green branch. You must not
think of them again, except
as monsters like yourself,
pitiable because unforgiving.
– Wendell Berry (1994)
