My friend told me that I had an enemy, and I didn’t want to believe it. But it turned out she was right, like she is about a lot of things. So now do I have be on the lookout for enemies? I don’t want to. But being real about the challenges facing me will allow me to protect myself better.

Oh, what should I do?

Both!

Don’t go looking for enemies, and don’t make a world of them. Don’t assume they will be there, and don’t wonder. But, when someone is, then do not deny it, and work to change that situation to make the world better for everyone.
