Hate

There's one word that bothers me more then any other. That's the word hate. It is one of the most emotional words we use. So many people don't even understand why it's such a "bad" word. Yet, how can some really truly hate another individual? I mean, I do use the hate, but not when talking about things that are living and breathing. I might use the sentence like " I hate doing dishes" cause frankly I do hate it, dishes stink, but to say you hate someone. I think that's one of the saddest things ever to have that much anger, and hurt directed towards one person.  Please don't mistake me for a peace and love hippie. I'm far from it! There are many people I do dislike, and chose to keep myself distant from. Yet, there is no one I hate. I try to find the good in everyone, now sometimes that good can be buried deep deep down. Yet, to find one good thing about someone no matter how small it is, will help you not hate someone. Why do you want to waste your energy hating someone? When you start to hate someone it starts to consume you. You first start thinking about that person, and how much the irritate you. Then comes talking to other people all the time about that person, and how much they irritate you. I mean if you really truly hated someone, then why do you even care that much about them? Why not just forget about them, let them lead their own life and let the hatred go? I know sometimes we can get away from that person, maybe we work with them, or go to school with them. Yet we can make the decision to limit our contact with that person to whenever necessary. Again why waste your energy hating someone it's not worth. Instead find something small that is good about that person, and then just extremely dislike that person. It's a little bit easier that way. Now I can't say I've been in every situation, it some regards I understand the hating the person that killed someone close to you maybe a parent, child or close friend. I can kinda understand that, but just because I understand something doesn't mean I still find it to be right. Yet, who am I to judge or tell anyone besides my kids who to live their life's. I don't! But in closing I do ask you to ask yourself to really think about how much energy your using to hate someone in your life.
