Personal Nemesis

Posted by semaj in Social

I think everyone should have a nemesis from time to time… a personal one, someone to provide a little conflict to the everyday goings of life and living it.
I have had quite a few in my life… from some bullies back in elementary school (Three that is, one that turned into a rather nice guy, one that is in and out of jail and the other… no idea… just kind of faded away over time. ) Another from my time in the Navy that haunted me for a span that lasted almost 6 years and lead me to leave the military and the current one that I have…. which is what brings me to this little note.
This one is of the friendly type and I have had quite a few of those too, yes… nemesises (sp?) can be fun to have too. A person that you can disagree with and still have fun… like sparring in a shadow boxing kind of way… both sides know who “won” the match… but no one gets hurt. Good stuff.
Personally I think that everyone should have more of the friendly type… but any nemesis will do, just to provide a little resistance in life… just to provide each person with spurts of internal growth for the mind… like a good training program will do for the body.

    James, you are a nemesis for others as well. Do not sell yourself short, just keep your mind open. Love ya always ~ even through the disagreements.
