respecting the enemy
Some suggestions from Pray the News for respecting the enemy:
+ Make a sign for your desk, or where you see it often: No One Is My Enemy
+ Listen to the news tonight being conscious of stories or terms used that color your feeling toward the other or some group. Then pray the news.
+ Write dow everyone's names in your family or your circle of friends. Beside every name write something good about that person. Think of that positive part the next time you are tempted to be angry with them.
+ Make a positive gesture toward someone who irritates you.
