Hatred...
Hatred is a horrible feeling. It seems to be something that can eat you from the inside out. It's even more agrivating when all you want to do is let it go but, for some reason you can't. I think hatred by and large is just a by-product of pain, either by physical or emotional. It is a hurt that is unceasing in it's impact on our lives. Everyone has their buttons on how this turns out but, I think in the end it is feelings of betrayal that taints us. The more personal the betrayal the more it haunts us. As much as forgetfulness can be your salvation in such instances, how do you let it go when everyday is filled with reminders? It always seems to be easier to find the answers of what then how....
"The sage said, "The best thing is not to hate anyone, only to love. That is the only way out of it. As soon as you have forgiven those whom you hate, you have gotten rid of them. Then you have no reason to hate them; you just forget.""
