Love Your Enemies

Toward the end of Friday evening service, the Rabbi asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"

80% held up their hands. The Rabbi then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.

"Mrs. Schwartz? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" "I don't have any." She replied, smiling sweetly. "Mrs. Schwartz, that is very unusual. How old are you?" "Ninety-eight." she replied.

"Oh Mrs. Schwartz, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?" The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: "I outlived the bitches."

There is a (supposedly true) story that one of Franco's ministers, a former General, was on his death bed and was being given the last rites by a Priest.

"Do you forgive your enemies?" asked the priest

The ex-general looked straight into the Priest's eyes and said, quite calmly, "I have no enemies, I had them all shot!"
