But try to love more. At the same time I fight the same battles. It starts with us. Stuff happens in our lives to kick off the change. Be willing to accept God's will. Please God, not man, then you'll be content with who you are.
I’m not making excuses, but I work with pedophiles, gang bangers, rapists, thieves, killers, etc. I know what they have done and what they continue to do inside prison. They are scumbags. I wish I didn’t hate them. I do. I have a difficult time not hating anyone who rapes women or children, gangs, and killers who take innocent lives.
Hate breeds anger. Anger causes undue stress. Stress serves to amplifyanger. Amplified anger only intensifies hate. Intense hatred causes one to do things they might not normally do. Doing things one might not normally do can lead to regret. Regret can lead to depression. Depression leads to anger.
Love begets happiness Happiness begets contentment. Contentment begets peace.
I wish I could! That would be kinda cool.. .but I am rubbish at it... I forget I am mad at people and start being nice and helpful.. gggrrrr that makes me mad at myself.. but I always make the same mistake.. I am the worse person ever for planning revenge - I have no staying power and get distracted too easily..
I couldn't ever hate someone I had loved.. I have tried it.. I've had some truly hideous things done by the ones I loved.. I can get hurt, devastated but I still cannot hate them.. In a way hating would be a blessing as you can't be angry and sad at the same time.
Life is too short to spend hating someone, I hate my sins, as to others 'to each his own'.

Hate is a very ugly word. It doesn't even sound good coming out of your mouth. It takes a lot of time to and energy toward something you know you already don't like. I much rather thinking happy thoughts and loving the people, places, and things I choose to surround myself with. I can't be bothered with hate. I won't give it the time of day.
