[ayoub]

If someone counts you as an enemy and you don't even know they exist, what would you do?

Today's question is a version of one asked by kosta_pasta :D

:) I would be certainly amazed and do nothing.
thanks:)

I'd at least watch my back! :)

Hmmm. . .it would depend a lot on what station I held, why they were my enemy, and what the imposed intent would be.

I would certainly hire a wine and food taster. **giggles**

I would know them, understand them, and watch them carefully.

:D

Definitely a case of watching your back... :)

I don't get that, Ayoub...

Sometimes fear can be unreasonable, and fear of a person can lead to considering them an enemy...

[the-ravyn.livejournal.com]

Laugh and get on with the grandness that is me. :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

I'd be curious, though... as to why...

[l-nephthys-l.livejournal.com]

If I don't know they exist, then I don't know them. end of story. Can't expect everyone to like me and honestly, I wouldn't give a damn even if I did know them. It's their problem, not mine.

:D

I'd still watch my back a bit...

I would try to find out way in case I did something assholeish to them or maybe was misunderstood. If it was for something silly I would leave and get over it. Not everyone will like me.

:D

It's good to understand why...

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Identify them, counts their effective assets, assess your vulnerabilities relative to them, take action as needed if it comes to it.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Excellent answer :)

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

If you "don't know they exist", why would you care?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

What if you find out they do via a third person?

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

Again, why would you care?

Nevermind that you've just changed the parameters of the question - now you know they exist.

[mousie.livejournal.com]

Ignore it.... first off they mean nothing to you. Secondly, People that dont get to know you and decide you are an enemy without that knowledge are just plain ignorant. Personally I feel better off without people like that anyway. hugs

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah... me too... but then, hate is unreasonable... so I'd keep an eye on my back as well :)

[voldelange.livejournal.com]

nothing...i don't know about them,right? :P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[razzberee.livejournal.com]

I wouldnt' give a crap! If we don't even have a history together, they don't have good enough reason to hate me. Which means they're not too bright.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Ye but I'dstill watch out for them... Not too bright people can hurt me too...

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

The same thing I do whenever I have that problem, and sadly I have had this happen after high school: You hold your head up, you keep going, and when they reveal themselves - no mercy. If they make the first move and declare war, you are in your rights for self-defense. And if they don't make a move at all? Bonus!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Excellent answer... and it's a shame that these things sometimes have to be dealt with many many years after high school!

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

I hang out with pagans and actors at Ren Faire. 'Nuff said. ^__~

To do anything would give the concept more credit than it's worth. Osama wants to kill me. I couldn't care less.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

What about on a more personal level.... like the guy down the street who's psychotic, and takes a dislike to you?

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Nothing. How can I react to something I don't know about?

However, if I did know about them, but I don't know them, I'd react with a savagery that outshines the gods of Old.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

A powerful point of view, as always :)

[crescent-fresh.livejournal.com]

continue my life of blissful ignorance.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[soulview.livejournal.com]

Uhm, I don't know they exist so I don't know they think of me as an enemy.

O.o

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

What if you found out they did?

[soulview.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't bother me. I had an enemy for a while (maybe I still do but I don't care), her title is ex hubby's wife ... I learned that being yourself is the best thing to be even with an enemy.

[yndy.livejournal.com]

be curious about it... clearly I impacted that person unintentionally - as I have more than enough 'enemies' that I am aware of... I've learned that the only person who doesn't have enemies is someone who is so boring that it's hard to believe s/he exists.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's a valuable lesson indeed....

[miriyasterling.livejournal.com]

Well if I didn't know they existed they obviously couldn't be important.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

What if you found out they did?

well

[miriyasterling.livejournal.com]

kill them?
