Letting Go

Hate is something with an uncontrollably fast way of destroying the integrity of mankind. Understand that giving in to the thought of hate, no matter what side of it you stand, is unintentionally allowing it to manifest itself into your life. Just ignore it! Let it go, which is hard for people who have been afflicted by hate for no reason, but necessary in the next step. Moving on. Counteract hate with love, no matter how offensive something maybe, turn the other cheek. Don’t give in to hates ability to make you mad, upset, or bias towards another person. Especially because you don’t even know that persons name. How do you not know someone, but you hate them? It epitomizes stupidity, yet we continue to allow it to tear this country apart from the very core of beliefs that make us Americans. I’m beginning to be embarrassed of my country. It’s lack of humanity. It’s blatant disregard of a people’s plight. Its publicized degradation of a gender. It’s sole allegiance to profiting off of others misfortunes. Ignorance towards greed, while simultaneously blaming other countries for their lack of empathy towards American people. What!? I must be dreaming or having an extremely depressing nightmare. People are PEOPLE! Not a race. Not a religion. Not a bias! A people! A people capable of love but incapable of understanding one another. Why? Can you answer that without saying “they did this” “they said this” “they started this” without pointing fingers in the others direction. I thought so..try this, next time point the finger at yourself. Then evaluate based off self reflection, find the reason you feel the way you do, capture that feeling, and let it GO! Forgive the person you had originally pointed the finger at, and apologize for your lack of self understanding. Then ask them who they are, whats their favorite color, activity, sport to watch on television, if they saw last weeks Game of Thrones episode, if they are okay, if they need a hug, but lastly let them know you love and appreciate their existence as a fellow human being. Then watch, watch the hate dissipate. Watch them instantly regret what they said. Watch them try to figure out the reasoning behind being so hateful towards you. Finally, watch the smile that begins to take over their face cause happiness is contagiously unstoppable and so much easier to succumb to. Happiness also has meaning and purpose. Whereas bias, prejudice, and opinions have no source. Happiness is sourced from the soul, and based off mankind’s essence as a whole. For we are so negatively affected by each others presence that we are literally destroying ourselves, the earth, and each other. Wake up, you may be unique but your not the only person alive. Other people exist in conjunction with your self obsessed storyline. If this doesn’t somehow strike meaning in your heart. I am sorry you are so lost in your ways that ignorance shields you from guidance, or these so called attempts to corral mankind one final time before it is all said and done.
