Don't hate......Appreciate!
love & hate by *_Abhi_*Last night the husband-figure and I watched these shows about hate crimes. These shows spotlighted crimes against Blacks, Jews, Asians...you get the idea. One big story in particular was about the Neo-Nazis and how one of their followers opened fire at a Jewish day camp. This is the type of stuff that happens every day, but you don't really take the time out to think about it every day. It made me so sad to think about the people that spend their time really focusing on hating another race or culture. These folks only have one mission in life....to hate!
The worst part of all is that they have children and these kids have no chance to feel differently. They grow up learning how to hate. It is the only thing they know. It's so damn sad. And really, whether it's hate towards a race or culture or lifestyle...etc etc....all this energy could be used for good and not evil. People feel threatened and hate what is unknown to them. I couldn't imagine teaching Christopher to hate someone. Hating people just darkens your heart and ages your soul.
We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.

A man who lives, not by what he loves but what he hates, is a sick man.
