Grim Prayers. Wiktor Miesok, Felix Charin. 2026.
Be thankful for your enemy. He will teach you everything you need to know about your mind, your life, and your death.
- You are not a rock. You are an ocean. A good enemy will teach you that before strategy, before words comes control over the ocean that is inside of you. Is it storming? Then better not go and sail towards your enemy, bratan. Do not engage with your enemy in anger. An enemy wants a reaction. Rage. Fear. Impulse. You will not give him that. Silence is your shield. Silence is your sword.
- Reduce yourself. Limit exposure. Limit information. Limit emotional availability. The less access an enemy has to your time, data, and energy, the weaker they become.
- Build boundaries. State clearly what you will accept and what you will not. Once. Calmly. Respectfully. Without explanation. Then enforce through consistency, not outbursts. Never fight in public. It turns disagreement into big theater. Egos rise. Faces must be saved. Positions harden. Silence again is your master.
- Stop personalizing, start analyzing. Do not take things personally. You are not the center of the world. You do not really matter. Most enemies are not driven by hatred towards you. They are driven by their own fear, status, resources, insecurity. Ask yourself: What do they gain by opposing me? Then remove or neutralize that gain. You don’t defeat enemies by insults. You defeat them by making opposition unprofitable.
- Document. Memory can lie. Paper does not. Write down facts. Dates. Words. Actions. Not with emotion. With precision. Documentation is quiet power. It protects you when stories shift and narratives are rewritten. The calm record outlives the loud accusation.
- Generosity. Follow the rules of Silence, Boundaries, Ani-Personalization, Analyzation, Documentation and then in a sudden moment, your biggest weapon to diffuse the enemy is honor. Be generous to your enemy, use it like a weapon. It has worked many times.
- Remember Death. Your enemy will teach you an important lesson. When death greets you all you have is who you have become. If you have become full of hate, then you take this into the afterlife. Don’t do it.
