More From Alexander Pope

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.
Redneck Men White
Blinded as they are to their true character by self-love, every man is his own first and chiefest flatterer, prepared, therefore, to welcome the flatterer from the outside, who only comes confirming the verdict of the flatterer within.

If americans wish to preserve a country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. public education is the enemy. the entertainment industry is the enemy. the corporate culture is the enemy. the advertising industry is the enemy. and most of the politicians in both parties are the enemy. an enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of americans.

There may come a time when it will be possible for you to humiliate your worst enemy or even to defeat him, but in order to love the enemy you must not do it... the greek language has another word [for love]. it calls it agape. agape is more than romantic love. agape is more than friendship. agape is understanding, redemptive goodwill for all men. agape is an overflowing love, a spontaneous love, which seeks nothing in return. and theologians would say that it is the love of god operating in the human heart. when you rise to love on this level you love all men, not because you like them, not because their ways appeal to you, not because they are worthful to you, but you love all men because god loves them. and you rise to the noble heights of loving the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does. and i think this is what jesus means when he says, “love your enemies.”

There are only two things one has to bear in mind. one has to be credulous - able to believe - and skeptical - able to not believe, because if you are not skeptical, you will believe rubbish. if you are not credulous you will learn nothing and the only way to balance those two is to recognize the mystery of things.
Believe Mind Balance
Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
