You will have many opponents in your lifetime, but your ultimate opponent is yourself. There are many demons to conquer: fear, laziness, selfishness, egotism, and many others. You will need discipline, courage and perseverance to overcome your own defects, which is the ultimate victory.
There is no greater illusion than fear, no greater wrong than preparing to defend ourselves, no greater misfortune than having an enemy. Whoever can see through all fear will always be safe. If you understand this, peace and harmony naturally arise
To resolve any conflict, sit down with your adversary face to face. Generally, dispute arises from not having the flexibility in considering the others’ opinion. Whether you win or lose is not enjoyable, it’s better to solve the dispute before it goes too far usually by meeting your opponent halfway.
