Tips for Life’s Greatest Challenge: Love Thy Enemy zenhabits Post written by Leo Babauta
Whether you’re Christian or not, there’s something in the teachings of Jesus that is worth contemplation, for anyone who seeks to be a better person: his urging that we love our enemies.
Not just “Love Thy Neighbor”, which in itself can be a difficult thing.
But “Love your enemies”. That’s a powerful message, and it turns out, one of the greatest challenges in life.
Why Should I Love My Enemy?
•You’ll be happier. If you have anger or resentment inside of you, even if you don’t think about it all the time, there will be times when it surfaces. And that makes you unhappy. It’s destructive, inwardly (it eats you up) and outwardly (you might do destructive things to others). That anger also affects others around you, such as your loved ones, who are most likely affected in some way when you are angry — even if the anger isn’t directed at them. Removing this anger from yourself is a positive thing, and it will make you happier overall.
•You could make a friend. One of the most powerful effects of learning to love your enemy is that your enemy can become your friend. And while it is counterproductive to be fighting with an enemy (it hinders your progress), it is very productive to add new friends to your life — they can help you accomplish things, for example. A new friend, instead of an enemy, makes an incredible difference. And if that enemy is a family member or former friend, reuniting can be extremely powerful and important.
•You set a better example for others. Our actions set an example for other people in our lives. If you have children, for example, they learn from anything you do. Teaching them to hate is not a positive example. But teaching them to overcome that anger and hate, to make up with an enemy, and to love … there is no better example in life.
•It’s better for society. This one seems obvious to me, but it’s important. One little relationship might not seem to make a difference to society as a whole — who cares if I hate another person? But if we all hate other people, it creates a more divisive and fractured and angry society. I see the effects of this everywhere, from media and culture to politics to business to families being disrupted. And the opposite is true — if we can overcome that hatred, and learn to love our neighbor and our enemy, society is better of in so many ways.

Words of the Year: These Characters Tell
the Stories of 2015 in Strokes blogs.wsj.com
In mainland China, President Xi Jinping’s anticorruption campaign is stretching into its third year. That’s helped propel the word “廉,” or “incorrupt,” to be named
the countrys Chinese character of 2015.
The annual poll was organized by the
government backed-Chinese National Language Monitoring and Research Center. It
had asked Chinese netizens to submit nominations and vote for a word and phrase
that best summed up the year.
An analysis earlier this month showed the
number of Chinese institutions probed so far in 2015 is more than four times
what it was in 2013 when Mr. Xi’s corruption crackdown began.
Across the Strait in Taiwan, more than
13,000 people voted for the Chinese word for change, “換,” in a way to show their desire for a new
president and legislature ahead of next month’s elections.
The winning word had in fact been suggested
by Taiwan’s leading presidential candidate and main opposition party nominee,
Tsai Ing-wen, who argued that the island is facing tough challenges and needs
reform.
Following a series of food safety,
political and military scandals in Taiwan, respondents in 2013 and 2014 had
chosen the words “fake” and “dark,” respectively. The poll is co-organized by
Taiwan’s United Daily News.
In neighboring Malaysia, which this year endured
slumping oil prices, a record-low currency and a political scandal, 16% of the
more than 13,000 respondents to a poll run by the Han Culture Center said the
word, “苦”or“bitter,”best reflects their 2015.
But“貪,meaning “greedy” or“corrupt in English,
came in second with 15% of the total votes. The words popularity comes as
Malaysias 1MDB scandal is drawing world-wide attention and has led to calls at
home for the ouster of the country’s prime minister.
Further east, Japan’s kanji of the year, “安,” means safety, peace or security. It also happens to be one of the
characters in the name of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (安倍晋三). Mr. Abe passed national security bills through parliament earlier
this year, and the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation said the win by “安” reflects the Japanese public’s terrorism-related
unease.
Q:
What do you think of the word of the year “change”“換”?
What are the things should be change for
the New Year?
What do you think about “corruption” in Asian
countries?
“安,” means safety,
peace or security”
Do you think Taiwan is a safe living country?
Which country has good living conditions to
live?
Is greed a bad thing?
