Enemies...
the compassion we feel normally is biased and mixed with attachment.
Genuine compassion flows towards all living beings, particularly your enemies.
If I try to develop compassion towards my enemy, it may not benefit him directly,
he may not even be aware of it. But it will immediately benefit me by calming my
mind. On the other hand, if I dwell on how awful everything is, I immediately lose
my peace of mind.
