Declara la Guerra a tus Enemigos: Estrategia de la Polaridad

DECLARE WAR ON YOUR ENEMIES
THE POLARITY STRATEGY

Life is endless battle and conflict, and you cannot
fight effectively unless you can identify your
enemies. People are subtle and evasive, disguising
their intentions, pretending to be on your side. You
need clarity. Learn to smoke out your enemies, to
spot them by the signs and patterns that reveal
hostility. Then, once you have them in your sights,
inwardly declare war. As the opposite poles of a
magnet create motion, your enemies--your
opposites--can fill you with purpose and direction. As
people who stand in your way, who represent what
you loathe, people to react against, they are a
source of energy. Do not be naive: with some
enemies there can be no compromise, no middle
ground.

[Salvador Dali] had no time for those who did
not agree with his principles, and took the war
into the enemy camp by writing insulting letters
to many of the friends he had made in the
Residencia, calling them pigs. He happily
compared himself to a clever bull avoiding the
cowboys and generally had a great deal of fun
stirring up and scandalizing almost every

Catalan intellectual worthy of the name. Dali
was beginning to burn his bridges with the zeal
of an arsonist.... "We [Dali and the filmmaker
Luis Bunuel] had resolved to send a poison pen
letter to one of the great celebrities of Spain,"
Dali later told his biographer Alain Bosquet.
"Our goal was pure subversion.... Both of us
were strongly influenced by Nietzsche.... We hit
upon two names: Manuel de Falla, the
composer, and Juan Ramon Jimenez, the poet.
We drew straws and Jimenez won.... So we
composed a frenzied and nasty letter of
incomparable violence and addressed it to
Juan Ramon Jimenez. It read: 'Our
Distinguished Friend: We believe it is our duty
to inform you--disinterestedly--that your work is
deeply repugnant to us because of its
immorality, its hysteria, its arbitrary quality....' It
caused Jimenez great pain...."
