Akane Iida

Love your enemies. / 汝の敵を愛せよ

By striving to understand the other person’s position and feelings, we can reduce conflict and hatred, leading to happiness for ourselves and others. Words that have been engraved in my mind since secondary school, as they are linked to the Christian doctrine of original sin and are the ultimate self-discipline in seeking salvation and healing from sin.

相手の立場や感情を理解しようと努めることで、争いや憎しみを減らし、自分や他者の幸せにつながる。キリスト教の原罪の教義と結びつき、罪からの救いと癒しを求める究極の自戒であるため、中学時代から心に刻んでいる言葉。
