daily word - dignify your enemies

I call on you to love your enemies. Do you extend human dignity to them? Certainly you have heard others make up derogatory names for prominent persons (and others) they dislike. Have you ever done this? It is easy to withhold common courtesy from those you disagree with, but is this justifiable? Do you see them as totally alien to you? But you all belong to the same brotherhood of humanity. Are you fussy about who is your brother? I responded to a similar question about who is my neighbor, and the answer was broader than the questioner liked. Does extending human dignity to your enemies qualify as loving them? Not quite, but if you have not taken this first step, do so.
