I have often thought what a wonderful world it would be if rather than forgiving our enemies, we simply forgot they were enemies. You know, it takes a lot of time and effort to hate someone properly. Furthermore, hate is a very destructive emotion. To hate, you have to think, say and do hateful things. Consider what this does to your enemy. At the least, nothing. At the most, your hate will serve to make a BETTER person of him for he will resolve not to be mean and hateful like you. Should the day ever come when the slate is wiped clean, it is you who will have to be forgiven. When you think you have an enemy, a little honest introspection is indicated. Remember, it is always wiser to forgive and forget, and then you yourself will never find yourself in the position of having to BE forgiven.
