The Enemy Within..
The enemy within as I might say or put it might be different from what you might be thinking or know but let's take a keen look at this article. It is going to enlighten us on the enemy that is within us. This enemy tends to fight against us in so many ways thereby causing a whole lot of negativities.. Hello everyone, it's Dangerous_Fly once again. **Please subscribe if you haven't and like or comment if you want. Don't forget the tips either.**
**The Enemy Within** as I already said is a character of an individual that tends to bring you down in so many ways. This enemy might not be known by a lot of people but it has an influence on us as individuals and even tends to separate us from our **Maker**. *I decide to put this in a form of a story for you to get my point and illustration clearly.* *****So let's dive in..***** **Once,** there lived a rich man in a neighborhood . He was so kind and caring **as people may say** . He shared foodstuffs to the needy and did a whole lot of things for them; building social amenities and the rest, aside all this he was also punctual and regular at workplace. So he had a great sense of leaving. Life in his neighborhood became a blessing to him as a whole lot of people respected him and praised him for his " **kindness** ". Due to the praises and respect, he was then growing or showing the attitude of **supremacy** bit by bit. He quit his work and decided to flaunt. He could just come to your house and give you a reward just to show off. One day, he was **advised** by a young man who told him clearly that, what he is doing is not good - *he is tarnishing his image bit by bit if he doesn't stop what he is doing ,* when he decided to do same to the young man. The rich man couldn't let this go, he spent a whole lot of time at home thinking about this which developed a sense of **hatred** against the young man in him.. He concluded that the young man has disrespected him so he planned to do something evil against him . One day, the rich man decided to hire some men to kill the young man at night when he is asleep. Luckily for the young man, he had visitors that night so they had a prolonged discussion at the hall of which the hired men didn't know. In an attempt to break into the young man's house to kill him the men were caughted by the young man and his visitors of which they handed them over to the police. Days later, it was pointed that they were sent by this highly respected man in society.The society was shocked by this act , everyone was shocked . The rich man was arrested and jailed of which he had no one to bail him. He lost all the respect people had for him and he died in jail even though he was **"kind"**. ***End Of Story .*** Now let's analyze the story. **Per** the story ,the man was very kind to his people and dedicated to his work but he suddenly started feeling a sense of **supremacy** , of which he grew **hatred** for the one who decided to tell him he is going wayward . He plotted against him of which didn't work and he lost his image in society in the long run.. *What then do you think the enemy within is??*
Of course the enemy within here **is the feeling of supremacy** with it's compliment being **hatred** . Basically, the feeling of being supreme is a very dangerous attitude that when you stick to, it starts to make you think otherwise. You think you are the best man in the world , sometimes making you feel like a **god** . This situation was illustrated in the Holy Bible when King Nebuchadnezzar felt he was supreme and we all know what happened.
**Hatred** also tends to be one of the deeds that acts same as the enemy within .. Hatred is what causes a person to take the life of his/her friend's life .. *A lady was poisoned by her friend recently because her boyfriend bought her iPhone 11 as a birthday gift..* Hatred! Hatred!! Hatred!!! This is what causes communities to fight against each other, individuals to plot against each other . The feeling of bitterness in our hearts goes a long way to affect us as illustrated in the story. **Effects Of The Enemy Within (Supremacy & hatred)** **Promotes negative thoughts** : This is a minor effect though but it needs to be considered.. Mostly people who feel supreme when they are challenged causing them to think much on how to plot against the "**challenger.**" **Loss of image /Stigmatization :** It leads to loss of image as people begin to lose the respect they had for you which eventually vanishes causing people to now stigmatize you . **Imprisonment** : Supremacy as well as hatred can lead an individual into imprisonment since it will cause you to do unacceptable things leading you there as illustrated . **Possible death** : Sometimes in your plot, you can rather get yourself killed or you can be executed for attempting murder at some places in the world .. **Disgrace to family causing refusal :** Your family as well people in the neighborhood will no longer be proud and won't like someone to even mention that they know you not talking about they themselves saying it. **And a whole lot** There is therefore the need to identify this and deal with diligently before it starts to have it's influence on us .

Reflecting on what you read or learn is the greatest thing to ever do
Yes. It's all thanks to you for writing interesting articles. ☺️
Indeed Supremacy and hatred are our enemies within. Thanks for enlightening us.
Supremacy is the biggest trouble causing hatred and others to follow
I have done self reflection after reading this article.

Thank yOu sir.
Hatred stirs up strife, But love cover's all sins. Prov 10:12
Hatred is really a deadly "disease" and should be dealt with diligently before it starts to affect
Accepting your wrongdoings can change a whole setting. We should always take in consideration that we sometimes cannot see our bad sides that other people can see. We have to be humble and ready to hear someone's humble criticism for us to become better. Loved this article!😍
Yes , but supremacy makes it hard to accept that you are wrong therefore there is the need to deal with supremacy before it starts to have an effect on the individual because it will difficult to control in the long run and it will cause a whole lot of negativities
Indeed, so we need to be cautious about ourselves, the way we act and what we've become.
Oh my god!!!I felt so sorry to read that line "A girl got poison by her friends,just because of her boyfriend gave her iPhone 11""...So sad.Known and unknown enemy both are harmful for every person.
Yes that was a sad line..
This line touch my heart. I felt Hard.
Very true! That's also the reason why we must not do things without thinking it through. You should never do things when you are mad, or make a decision when you are happy. Before doing something. Either good or bad. We need to think multiple times the possible outcome. Emotion can became the obstacle for your right decision. So, always clear your mind and calm yourself. Pray and fight for that enemy that you have within.
This points to the article, think twice You can give it a shot
This all I have. But I really appreciate your article so I want to give it. 😊
The worst enemy so far. Thanks for reminding us about this😊
You are welcomed ..
This is really true, We should control our own feelings
We should control our feelings, in that kind of situation.
Wow a very wonderful write up I always look forward to your post Thanks a lot 👍
I find it a bit hard to follow. The story I partly understand but doesn't make sense to me. Not in the way you explain it. I would see envy in it. The envy of those helped by the rich man. It never feels great to be helped out by the rich who make it clear you are poor, a nobody or loser... What your article did make clear to me is we live in different cultures and the way you see and explain things won't be accepted, understood by mine. Mainly because of our experiences if it comes to: the enemy inside, religion, etc. Somehow it feels to me you could have easily written 3-4 good articles with what you wrote here. 👍🍀
@wakeupkitty , I know you go by your own ways and don't get someone to influence you but always mind how you react to someone's post or articles. > Somehow it feels to me you could have easily written 3-4 good articles with what you wrote here. Do you know you are trying to mean the article is wack? And let me tell I am not good at reacting back but let's preserve "The Golden Rule" here. You are good we all know but that doesn't mean you should throw "jabs" at someone's posts .** If you can change the game don't play at all for here . ** > Mainly because of our experiences if it comes to: the enemy inside, religion, etc. But let me tell you something, the article doesn't base on the enemy inside religion or something but it is based on the enemy in your own self, which is the feeling of supremacy. You feel you are better than everyone and begin to show off that you are the best. You call people by names and do not appreciate what other people does thinking yours is always the best and when you are told about what you are doing you begin to have hate for the person that is what the article is about. Don't rush in conclusion and if you don't understand anything please seek further explanation before you talk . If you don't understand what the enemy within is , then it is supremacy and hatred.. >The enemy within as I might say or put it might be different from what you might be thinking or know but let's take a keen look at this article. Hope you saw this ? So if it is still not what you were expecting please , let it go and forget about the article. Thank you for your time , it's Dangerous_Fly once again,**Bring It On!!!**
I must say Hatred are our worst enemy inside😒 @Dangerous_Fly thanks for bringing such post here and highlighting.. Btw Will you be my sponsors??
Indeed. Every single thing that we do could really affect ourselves and the environment that we are in. That's why we have to be fully aware of things that are going on in order for us to act logically. Lets promote a more positive and optimistic mindset. This is a very helpful article. Keep it up.
True! What if people just spread love and not hate? Is it really hard to just support or love one another. As the bible says "love your neighbor"
Some people just don't want to see others prosper thereby going a long way to bring them down
Sad truth.
