If you're not being respected in the workplace, for example... I think viewing the person as an 'enemy' is perfectly fine. I think the word 'enemy' can hold different meanings. To answer the question... I've tried avoiding my enemy like the plague. I know, it's not effective, but this approach has got me thinking. G. I think ‘enemy’ can apply here to certain people.

I personally do not view the other person as an enemy, I view them as my assistant (if not partner) in my personal development. Using the word "enemy" here was meant as more of a trigger word to keep people reading. I agree with you, it’s all about how you view it.

It seems to me if you're thinking in terms of enemies and manipulation you're not operating from an attitude of respect. I talk about a tricky situation my husband and I turned into a win-win solution in <a href="http://stresstopower.com/blog/2007/12/30/2007-a-year-of-adventure/" rel="nofollow">2007--A Year of Adventure</a>. It was one of the highlights of my year. I agree with using difficult situations as learning experiences, but why look upon the other person as an “enemy”?
