Exile has enabled me to discover the rest of the world, to meet other peoples, to get to know other traditions. Nothing could be more valuable.

For a practitioner of love and compassion, an enemy is one of the most important teachers. Without an enemy you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance you cannot build a sound basis of compassion. So in order to practice compassion, you should have an enemy.
