How many of us have conflicts with someone else- and how many of us pray for that person? We have individuals with whom we are competitive, or whom we dislike or have a quarrel with; but very few of us have true enemies in the martial sense.

All they know is that they suddenly feel less beautiful and less confident, and it is because we sapped their energy.
