  1. A quotation from John Adams

    We must come to the Principles of Jesus. But, when will all Men and all Nations do as they would be done by? Forgive all Injuries and love their Enemies as themselves? I leave those profound Phylosophers whose Sagacity perceives the Perfectibility of Humane Nature, and those illuminated Theologians who expect the Apocalyptic Reign, to enjoy their transporting hopes; provided always that they will not engage us in Crusades and French Revolutions, nor burn us for doubting.

    John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
    Letter (1816-02-02) to Thomas Jefferson

  6. A quotation from The Bible

    If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread;
       if they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
    By doing this, you will heap burning coals on their heads,
       and the Lord will reward you.

  7. A quotation from The Bible

    If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fulness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
     
    [Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον. καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι. κἂν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα καυχήσωμαι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.]

  11. A quotation from The Bible

    Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” Instead, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink, for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
     
    [μὴ ἑαυτοὺς ἐκδικοῦντες, ἀγαπητοί, ἀλλὰ δότε τόπον τῇ ὀργῇ, γέγραπται γάρ, ” Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω,” λέγει κύριος. ἀλλ᾽ ” ἐὰν πεινᾷ ὁ ἐχθρός σου, ψώμιζε αὐτόν· ἐὰν διψᾷ, πότιζε αὐτόν· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν ἄνθρακας πυρὸς σωρεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.” μὴ νικῶ ὑπὸ τοῦ κακοῦ ἀλλὰ νίκα ἐν τῷ ἀγαθῷ τὸ κακόν.]

  15. A quotation from The Bible

    If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that!
     
    [καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστίν; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς ἀγαπῶσιν. καὶ [γὰρ] ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε τοὺς ἀγαθοποιοῦντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστίν; καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν.]

  16. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    It is useless to try to adjudicate a long-standing animosity by asking who started it or who is the most wrong. The only sufficient answer is to give up the animosity and try forgiveness, to try to love our enemies and to talk to them and (if we pray) to pray for them. If we can’t do any of that, then we must begin again by trying to imagine our enemies’ children who, like our children, are in mortal danger because of enmity that they did not cause.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Essay (2003-02-09), “A Citizen’s Response,” sec. 4, Citizenship Papers (2003)

  17. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    In a word, there is only one thing here worth the minding, and that is, to be true and just, and to show benevolence, even to the untrue and unjust.
     
    [Ἓν ὧδε πολλοῦ ἄξιον, τὸ μετ᾿ ἀληθείας καὶ δικαιοσύνης εὐμενῆ τοῖς ψεύσταις καὶ ἀδίκοις διαβιοῦν.]

  18. A quotation from The Bible

       But the man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
       Jesus replied, “A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of brigands; they took all he had, beat him and then made off, leaving him half dead. Now a priest happened to be travelling down the same road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite who came to the place saw him, and passed by on the other side.
       “But a Samaritan traveller who came upon him was moved with compassion when he saw him. He went up and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. He then lifted him on to his own mount, carried him to the inn and looked after him. Next day, he took out two denarii and handed them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said ‘and on my way back I will make good any extra expense you have.’
       “Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the brigands` hands?”
       “The one who took pity on him” he replied.
       Jesus said to him, “Go, and do the same yourself.”

In the same way a Levite who came to the place saw him, and passed by on the other side.
       “But a Samaritan traveller who came upon him was moved with compassion when he saw him. He went up and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. He then lifted him on to his own mount, carried him to the inn and looked after him. Next day, he took out two denarii and handed them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said ‘and on my way back I will make good any extra expense you have.’
       “Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the brigands` hands?”
       “The one who took pity on him” he replied.
       Jesus said to him, “Go, and do the same yourself.”

    *** Love Your Enemy ***
    (2024 - Viki 12 1:10 eps)

    [!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

    A trope-filled romcom about rivals since birth. They meet again at their old school as teacher & admin. The old relationship battles begin again.

    Both MLs were great, but FLs fell flat. The saving grace in this drama is the backstory. Both of the young leads are fabulous & their chemistry can be felt!

    It had a lot of potential, but every storyline seemed to miss the mark & it feels like they pulled problems out of a hat to fill space. Fun cameos & FL's grandpa is a great character, with a couple of his own storylines but neither end up being what they should have been. The love triangle is handled well & there are some funny moments if you aren't looking for reality.

    It did make me interested in Ju Ji Hoon's other work & I will be on the lookout for those young actors.

    The actors who play the young versions have amazing chemistry - I'd love to see a drama with just them!

    The adults are childish & silly, can't communicate & don't observe boundaries - but do grow. It's cute, but mostly predictable. The comedy is also mostly silly. It is one of those that grows on you.

    It's very good for a break between more intense dramas.

  29. 2024 End of the Year Drama Challenge

    Day 27 - A 2024 drama too few people watched?

    "Love Your Enemy"

    There is not much buzz about this one on social media, but it's much better than I thought it would be. A light, pretty silly, enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers story with a couple of "villains" to hate. It could be a good comfort watch.

    #EYDC2024 #kDrama #LoveYourEnemy #사랑은외나무다리에서

  30. Started watching "Love Your Enemy" with Ju Ji Hoon & Jung Yu Mi because I wanted a light romcom to balance out the other shows I'm watching.

    What a fun show! In eps 1, up & coming lead actors Bae Hyeon Seong ("Family by Choice") & Moon Sang Min ("Cinderella at 2 AM") play some unexpected characters in one crazy scene - hilarious!

    Also, 10cm (of "Lovely Runner" "Spring Snow" song fame) has a song for the OST (which is turning out to be really good) called "Be in Love" and in one eps. he's a street performer, singing this song!

    The lead couple's lack of communication & childishness was annoying at first, but it's so OTT that it's become funny now. The high-school version of the lead couple has great chemistry. I haven't felt it yet for the adult couple, but they still hate each other, so maybe that will change.

    With a couple of characters you love to hate & one suspicious assistant, there's enough to keep things interesting so far. Only 6 out of 12 episodes out right now.
