No Room For Hate

“Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”
Correta Scott King

 
Hate will never lead to a happy ending.  No matter how much reason one has to despise a task or human-being, hate will blind your humanity and refrain your happiness.  Because our lives are limited and actions are temporary, to bear a repulsive emotion is simply not worth the mental anguish one will undergo.  Should we live in ecstasy? No.  Hate must be used to define our boundaries, but cannot be used to draw the boundaries of others. Our energy should be directed towards the pursuit of happiness and in the end, our lives as well as the lives of the future will thrive in joy.

Why does hate exist if it is not the mode of interest?  Expression and freedom allows us to relieve our suppressed compulsions, our urges and hate is one of the most powerful emotions any human-being may express.  To relieve these urges through hate is an immense stress-reliever, however hate ignites hate in others.  Hate can act as an infectious virus that can invade the minds of an entire people, depriving their ability to function their daily tasks, depriving them from living.

This summer has allowed me to relieve my daily stresses and encouraged me to observe interactions of others as well as my own. More posts will follow soon.

With love,
Dan
