Hate vs. Love

Hate is powerful and comes in many forms. Some hate manifest itself on the surface while other forms of hate remain hidden until impulsively forced to the surface. The latter is more dangerous at times than the surface hate because it is slow growing and perpetually builds. The events that are happening in the world today is the same hate from the past. The difference is that it is suttle and dressed up, wrapped in false sincerity with a bow on top. The irony of hidden hate is that it deteriorates the person who expresses such anger by slowly dispiriting their soul and eating away at the love that wishes to enter their lives. When that dispiriting takes place they become half of the person they seek to be. Hate crosses boundaries into family, friends, associates, organizations and religious life. We give hate false power.
Humans mindlessly hate over petty jealousy, status, culture, religions, historical views, lack of love and the list goes on.
Love on the other hand turns jealousy into admiration; status into praise; culture into appreciation; religions into profound spirituality and disagareeable historical views into understanding. The power of love transcends time, perspectives and emotions without giving thought to who it embraces. It is the perfect pinnacle of acceptance in the face of superiority, inferiority and prejudice.
Love cares for the disheartened; the elderly; the children and the human spirit. It is the care giver and care taker of all. It transforms your life and those around you. Love cries our tears and weeps for the soul. Love forces us to seek a deeper meaning. Love is eternal and fulfilling and ever so faithful in it's elation and joy.
Love must and always will eliminate hate.
