But for the sake of this series, we are considering the human enemy and then checking on the rest depending on how the journey leads us.

But before we continue I will like you to know that an enemy is a person/Whatever you named as your enemy.

This means that your enemy may be my friend and my enemy may be your friend, this simple truth should be able to settle the argument of "DON'T PRAY FOR ENEMIES TO DIE" Whatever I wished to do with my enemies is none of your business and whatever you wished to do with yours is none of my business either.

Why blind someone you have already captured? That's because they know that killing him will be a kindness to him compared to the damage he had done to them, "also death is not a punishment but an end to every mortal" so, they need to do him something worst than death because even Jesus said "the eyes is the light of the body" (𝙼𝙰𝚃𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚆 𝟼:𝟸𝟸)
