Question: 208.
How can a person get along with an enemy?

How should you get along your enemy? I do not know, but i can tell you what you should consider. There are three sides, to an argument, verbally physically, or do nothing at all.

The Physical side of things:

Step 1: Gather strength, understand the  situation.

Step 2: Figure out your opponents weakness, look over spots that you may have missed, and spots that you might succeed. Re-think your side of  the story, re-think his/her side of the story. Figure out what went bad. Go back to  that horrible/ happy memory and search for people that were present at the fight, find the witnesses, find out which of your witnesses were also directly involved, and indirectly involved. 

Step 3 : Look for  for these people get them on your side, persuade them , black mail them,  give death threats etc. Round up as many as you can.

Step 4: Find some big people,  people who work out  lot, bullies and other big scary figures. These people are your back up plan, if things get ugly stand your ground, until there is no one left standing.

Step 5: Gather up your allies, give them a strong speech, do not tell them what could go wrong, because then they start thinking, and they might will lose focus of their real goal.

Step 6: Move out, find and locate you enemy, Beware of booby traps.

Step 5: Judge the distance between you and your enemy, understand the consequence of your actions. Intimidate him give your big friends the signal. Make sure they look mean.I do not recommend weapons, but its your choice.

Step 6: If your enemy has friends too, then put up a good fight. Beat each other up to pulp, and come to understanding.

Step 7: Beware, make sure your enemy strikes first, so by-standers will blame him for the chaos.

The verbal side of things:

Step 1: Read all the way to step 6.

Step 2: The night before the actual fight, create a speech that will blow your opponent away. Sum up your thesis and arguments and conclusion in  very few sentences. People do not like waiting. NOTE : read Thank you for Arguing. It a good book, for things like this.

Step 3: If the speech does not work go to Step 5, and hope for better results.

The side of doing nothing:

Step 1: Accept your crime, and ignore his/her crime. Let go of the past and move on.
