The person who has no enemies has no followers.

Summary

This quote suggests that having enemies can actually be an indication of having followers or supporters. It implies that when a person takes a stand or holds firm to their beliefs, they naturally evoke opposition from others who disagree. However, this opposition can also attract and unify those who support the person's views, thereby gaining them followers. The presence of enemies can serve as a measure of a person's influence, as it shows that they are not afraid to challenge the status quo and inspire others to rally behind them.

Religion kept some of my relatives alive, because it was all

Religion kept some of my relatives alive, because it was all they had. If they hadn't had some hope of heaven, some companionship in Jesus, they probably would have committed suicide, their lives were so hellish.

But perhaps there are in us forces other than mind and heart
