Day 162 of wisdom
“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
Winston Churchill
One who does not have enemies is not living his life, he is simply living other people's life. If you have, planning to, or currently standing for something, you must have had enemies, have enemies, or be gaining enemies. If you stand for a good cause, if you stand for your right, if you stand against injustice, if you stand for equality, you have enemies: secret, and public enemies, because whatever you stand for, or against there is somebody on the other side of the divide.
If you don't have enemies, you don't have a standing; if you don't have a standing, your life is not worth living; if you don't have enemies, you are an enemy to yourself. Every worthy battle is always against an enemy, and if you must win those battles, you don't necessarily have to be more powerful, more equipped, more talented, or stronger than your enemy, you only have to be more determined, more focused, more desperate, and ready to outwit your contender.
Standing for something may cost you something, so you must be careful what you stand for. If you stand for something that is worth less than what you might lose, you might not be standing right, you might not be doing the right thing, you might need to reevaluate your standing. When deciding where to stand, and what to stand for in any situation you must be careful not to stand for the wrong cause.
If you have found a good cause to stand for, even if you will stand alone, do it, but if you can find like minded, concerned, and dedicated partners who are ready to stand with you then align, and team up with them. Every great cause that has been successfully fought for have had the standing of determined men, and women who were ready not to give up no matter what, they were determined to have what they stood for, or nothing. Peter Marshall said, "if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything" find the right thing to stand for, and then stand right.
