Hate and How It Destroys

HATE

Hate gobbles up our ability to love and accept love.

Hatred drains us of positive energy.

It also depletes our immune system; leaving us open to illness of the body, the soul, and the mind.

Hate clouds our judgement and erodes our thoughts.

Hatred is reflected in our words, our actions, and our expressions.

Hate steals time; in the past, in the present and in the future; in essence, it shortens our lives.

Hate makes us ugly, inside and out.

Hatred is a leech that latches on and can never get enough of you.

Hate gets bigger and bigger, while your life essence progressively dwindles away.

Hatred blinds us to all that is beautiful, good, positive and wholesome.

Hate robs us of compassion and empathy.

Hate steals our dignity and self-respect.

Hatred prevents us from loving ourselves and loving others.

Hate is a killer, foremost to the host, where hate's strength is dominant.

But, hatred thrives to share itself. It causes the host's deep-seated rancor for life to shoot out tendrils to everyone around the host: probing for entry into anyone primed by weakness - designed to make all prospective hosts as miserable as it has made its primary host.

In so doing, hate does not weaken by planting spores of itself into others, it expands in size and potency.

Hate must be forcibly removed by its host. Removal is painful, because hatred has become such a part of the host - to be almost a unity of two into one.

So how do we rid ourselves of hate? First, we must acknowledge hate's presence within us.

We should then reflect on what it has cultivated in us; weighing the ugly negativity hate has created and infused in our being; and how that hate in us has hurt and damaged not only ourselves, but everyone we interact with.

Willingly, we must choose to rid ourselves of hate, as any person would who - struggling with a life- threatening habit - elect to free themselves of it. Look to the Creator, and ask for His help.

Doing this, liberating ourselves of this deadly toxin, may prove quite difficult; like fighting to kill off a deadly disease. But the win, the success, outweighs the struggle.

And as you have overcome and killed the parasite that is hate; that moment will truly be the first day of the rest of your life.

And, with your "new" feather-light soul, look to the Creator again - and thank Him!
