For me right now. I need compassion and gratitude for challenges in belief systems. I know better because I've studied values clarification. My 'enemy' is my teacher because it brings up some shadow personality that I'm unconscious of admitting I have within myself. I'm struggling with whatever that lesson is supposed to be? More detachment is definitely in order.
