How to treat your enemy
An enemy may be reconciled with you but how do you treat him.
The same thing the Panchatantra says in this way also
Caress a rascal as you will
He was and is a rascal still.
He was and is a rascal still.
You can do all sort of tricks to the tail of a wagging dog but you cannot make it straight. Like that you cannot reform or change a rascal or your enemy.
The same words are given by the Thiruvalluvar like
Pagai natpam kaalam varin muga nattu
Aga natpo ree vidal;
Aga natpo ree vidal;
Meaning
When a time comes wherein you have to make friends with your enemies. Smile before him but after that throw all his thoughts away and forget him. Never can you be friends with him who has done you harm.
