I never said you did.  I wrote "If...."

FYI, "right-wing" ideology is a bit like a donut:  The right writes law for 
*all,* while the left *excludes* the right.

In a donut, the donut *includes* the hole; the hole *excludes* the donut.

That's the essence of everything, incidentally:
Unity *includes* duality; duality *excludes* Unity.

This may be simply understood as:
Lovers love lovers *and* haters;
haters *hate* lovers *and* haters.

It's a *brief* short story (written for parents to read to their children, but 
mainly aimed at the parents themselves) that helps one to "understand" what 
everything is all about, as it were.  Like I said, it's *short* (maybe 2 to 5 
minutes, depending upon how fast one reads, but I suggest reading it carefully.)

To find the satanic, follow the word salad.  "Love thine enemies" contains no 
word salad.

It helps for one to learn to expect the unexpected.  FYI, it appears your entire 
response went "off topic" at the misreading of the word "If...."

I've seen no bot response.  The link "supports itself" as it's still there.
