"How do you understand this one...." "Choose your enemy well, for he is who you will become." old Hebrew adage
I don't think it's a certitude, in 100% of all cases.
But I suppose there's some truth to it.
You know how shabbily the Nazis treated the Jews.
And the Jews chanted "Never Again! Never Again!".
And now look at how shabbily the Israelis treat the Palestinians.
Seems rather like bad karma to me.
Momma told me the traits we dislike most in others are traits we may ourselves display.
