not hate

Not hating is a form of forgiveness…
and compassion…people mostly do things out of ignorance_{and
their own injuries/pain/un-forgiveness…
so if we can remember this in the midst of heated times,
hurting times…we can feel compassion rather than
hate…
:)
I always try to remember that inside each person is a little
child} who really wants to be loved and accepted…regardless
of the outside…

One mood would be like this here
during the day…a positive beat you can nod your head to while the events unfold…

Unfortunately…The dark specter of bad and dark vibes can sneak in without invitation

What is to be done?...

make adjustments my friend…

due to pinheads like this…

The beliefs that motivate people to do things like this just don’t reaffirm my confidence in the human race…

To each his own seems to be a foreign concept to some…

Another one that you don’t stop doing, and certainly worth doing.

This kind of goes along with my “relax” entry, and the saying “never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity” goes well here too. Most folks who step on your toes don’t mean to, and aren’t deserving of the hate we vent back at them.

Do not hate. Hatred is a form of subjective involvement that binds you to the hated object.

Hatred is a product of evil. To the extent you allow yourself to feel hatred, to that extent you become an instrument of evil. When you hate someone you draw that person to you. Is that what you want? To eliminate the connection, dismiss the person from your thoughts. To combat evil, respond with goodness.

My wife and I were talking about our Daughters graduation from her University this Spring….many issues…will we go together?...what if someone from our respective families have disparaging or hurtful things to say about our separation?...It really kind of deteriorated at that point…I really didn’t want to talk about it…the theory of hurt doesn’t appeal to me at all right now…Soon afterwards, she confided in me that her Mom told her she (my wife)...wouldn’t be able to deal with me leaving and would probably end up on the street….isn’t the human race just the most wonderful species on earth???..........Yeah, not hate…....like this will ever be possible….I should just give up now…....

now that I have dumped all this toxic waste….

Only time will measure the success of this….

what I want to say? We’ll see, won’t we?
I try to not hate. It’s hard. There is so much to cause hate. This is one of the things that make me mad.
At work the other day before the start time, a few of us were standing around talking and travel came up, since this is travel season and I am even traveling soon….The conversation was very pleasant until this one part time guy thay was there related a story about him and one of his friends. They were in a airport after landing and he claimed this “faggot” came up to his friend and hit on him, so his friend punched the guy in the face….......no one said a thing, for like 30 seconds…...so he gave us a wierd look and walked off…........Here are some of the things that bothered me about what he said…............
1. Why would you punch someone in the face that showed an interest in you? Why not be flattered, or embarrassed? Tell him sorry, I am Hetrosexual, not interested…..........or whatever?
2. Would you punch someone in the face…......say you were a man….out on the town…...and a woman..flirted with you….asked you to dance at a club….propisitioned you…...and you didn’t like her…...Say no, turn her down or punch her in the face?
3 Why do some people hate gay people so much? Have they ever known any? I have, I have worked with them, lived by them and am related to one. My cousin in California is gay. He is the nicest, most caring man in the world…...In fact I will go one step further….....Almost all the Bi and gay people I have known in my life are more caring, nicer individuals, than the straight people I have known. The 2 lesbian couples that have houses on either side of us are the best neighbors you could ever have. And thier houses are immaculate, and yards also.
4. I wonder if a violent reaction like this…....is because they are attracted to that lifestyle…...or maybe thought about, fantasized about it. And they are reacting out of fear? Who knows?

And you will have to excuse me, as I just got off the phone with my gay cousin, and I am trying to not hate people that do

I would like to be able to accept the things I cannot change for how they are and not have resentment about it. To be able to not be angry with people or politicians who are different than me in deeds or thought. I just seems so destructive to harp on something constantly or be obsessive about it. There are so many better ways to channel your efforts and energy. Like toward some of my other goals that are somewhat out of reach I think….......
