Now there are many, many people in the world, but relatively few with whom we interact, and even fewer who cause us problems.

Because if you are ever to be successful in your practice of patience and tolerance, which are critical factors in counteracting negative emotions, it is due to your own efforts and also the opportunity provided by your enemy. ↗
