A Story about Enemies
by Siniša Glavašević

Life is full of enigmas, but the greatest enigma of all is how a friend can turn into an enemy.



Have you ever thought about why it is easier to gain enemies rather than friends? My whole life I have always wanted to be surrounded by good, worthy people, people who are respected and loved by others. Luck has been on my side, at least, up until now. I remained in the ruins of Vukovar, but with people who hold their heads high.

Most of them I did not even know. Many of them, up until yesterday, were not even aware of their own strengths. Trust me, the best that can happen to you in Vukovar at the moment is that you enter a room full of people and greet them all.



Often, without even knowing it, your greetings, your good, heartfelt wishes remain in the shadow of someone’s hatred.



The only thing you can ask yourself is whether you of all people have deserved it. True, this will not diminish the inimicality already created, but it will diminish the sorrow and pain, and hatred may even get carried away by its own fury, and so turn to dust, into nothing.



Perhaps the darkness will strangle all ugly thoughts. But this can only happen if there is an inkling of love left in the world.

So, if there is any within you, do not save it up. Share it, give pieces of your love to the man next to you and there will be fewer enemies. That should be enough for a start.
