Nemesis.
I believe a nemesis is a good thing to have, and a good thing to be aware of, if you have one. Without one, it would be too easy to become arrogant or complacent, or worse, outdone.
Do I currently have a nemesis?
Perhaps I find the idea of having a nemesis rather romantic. Perhaps I've imagined nemeses in the past when there were none.
My nemesis is a person among the people I know whose core being is my direct opposite in numerous ways and whose opposing traits have the potential to threaten my well-being or get between me and what I want out of life. I could have more than one nemesis at a time.
There is my nemesis of the external who's raised rich and non-religious, spoiled, thin, small, delicate frame, perfect skin, long legs, big tits (if female), etc...
There is my nemesis of the internal who's a mix of conservative, shallow, apathetic, unaffected, conforming, conceding, popular, naturally social, materialistic, extrememely girly, frigid, prudish, unartistic, inefficient, homophobic, etc...
Then there's my ideology nemesis, the one I believe is the most beneficial... who constantly opposes my viewpoint and opinions and decisions, my integrity, my morality, my lifestyle, etc...
And then there is The Nemesis who is a combination of all of the above - external, internal, and ideological. A "Bizarro Jennie" (like Bizarro Jerry).
I think I would know my true nemesis by a unresolvable push-pull, a definite and overcharged connection, a mutual need, and an awareness of it. I would be simultaneously drawn to and repulsed by this true nemesis.
No. I guess I don't really have one right now.
