I Have Something to Say

HATE: Hate is a powerful ever consuming emotion. Most of us are capable of it even those who aren’t capable of love. Hate can fester and spread like a cancer destroying everything in its path. A lot of times those we hate, don’t even realize or more importantly care about our hate. So given that scenario who is really hurt by hate, those who aren’t even aware or those of us who have given into hate and have let it take control of us. Hate is a counterproductive emotion and solves absolutely nothing. It can even harm your health if you give in to its destruction.

The person hurt the most by hate is not the object of hate, oh no, it is the hater. That is who gets a hardened heart. The only cure for hate is forgiveness. That is it, you just decide to let it go and forgive whoever it was aimed at. The person you hated may not know of the forgiveness either, but YOU will. It will make a difference in your life. . Deciding to let go and forgive will bring you more peace than you can imagine. I recommend it.

canadarm Of course you can hate actions and events. That isn't the same as hating people. ISIS perform hateful actions because they think their god commands them to do so and the will get 72 virgins. They don't know it was incorrectly translated and was supposed to say 72 raisins. Raisins were a delicacy at the time of the original writing. Once that gets out you will see a decline in violence.

I think it depends on why/what one hates. Hate is sometimes justifiable and leads to action that improves others's lives; like the hate of injustice, intolerance, racism or human suffering
This hate is transformed into meaningful change that improves the lives of people and uplifts humanity.
It is natural to hate what we perceive as " bad things".
I hate predators but I don't think it makes me a bad person.

As long as our President refuses to do something about ISIS, hate will be the least of our problems
