disagree, others are definatly so much more of an enemy than one can be to themselves.

Furthermore, a lot of things are greater enemies than yourself, if a meteor was crashing into earth...i'd say that is a bigger enemy, if a gang is against you, i'd say that'd be a bigger enemy..so many examples.

agree

although other enemies can always be defeated, you (your internal enemy) will always remain with you.

Disagree. The only person you can really change is yourself. Changing your enemy is the most effective way to defeat it.

Edit: By change, that's either mental or physical. That doesn't mean we can't just drop a nuke 800 feet into a fault line of a meteor that's coming to hit the earth.
By the way, I hate that I had to refer to Armageddon.

agree, the only person who can stop you is yourself. Your putting yourself into a certain stuation where someone is the enemy just shows that you put yourself there...i'm not makin any sense lol

agree. In the face of a just and righteous God, who commands us to follow his ways and love our enemies, we are the only ones at fault. [my 2 cents from a religious perspective.]

you're an enemy of yourself. you are forever stuck with yourself..

its half half, but concentration on defeating yourself will overall make you a better person in society. therefore, less disputes among others.

Hypothetical situation: I'm walking down the hallway to my next class. Someone I've never met before comes up to me and says "Give me your wallet." He is holding a knife.

I would consider that person to be an enemy.
