I'm trying to overcome the hatred that I feel for people who hate other people who are different. Is it ok to hate people who hate others? Morally, hatred is all the same. It's stooping to the level of the enemy if someone hates at all, according to some moral systems. But is hatred for those who would not allow life and diversity really all that bad? Is it wrong to hate the oppressors of life and love and freedom?
The big and the bold have pushed for a long time, but is it time to push back?
I look back on the past and think no. History shows us that those who are peace loving people always triumph. It's not the great empires that have flourished and remained eternal, it's those beliefs of love and freedom that spread like a fire around the world into the hearts and souls of people who outnumber the greatest of recorded histories most brilliant kingdoms. I want to be a part of that kingdom. If it is a kingdom of heaven, then so be it. We will love with fire and force and fury, but we will hurt no one. We will spread the seeds of love, and though they may not flourish like wild weeds of hate, our seeds will become a mighty forest. And we will find shelter and refuge in this place we have nurtured.
