Acharya Mahaprajna
Amity is a positive virtue in the form of a feeling of friendship which is free from the opposite feeling of enmity. It is a highly desirable virtue for promoting and maintaining social health and welfare because it denotes a feeling of good-will and harmony. Enmity, on the other hand, denotes a feeling of ill- will or active dislike, which may be personal or impersonal, open or hidden, and which leads to the display of hostility disrupting the peace and placidity of social life. The end result of enmity of prolonged hostility is hatred which being deep-seated and malicious is a menace to the tranquillity and calmness of the social life which is essential for the promotion of social health.
