LOVE/HATE

LOVE/HATE

 I know they say there is a fine line between the two.

And hate has been around since Cain and Abel.

But with all the love of the bible and Jesus, and churches.. why is it still so rampaged?

Why is that people in general seem to gasp ahold of hatred and seem to shy away from kindness, compassion and etc. Some even finding it embarrassing.  Sadly..

The paper is full of daily reports of those who are doing some hateful things to other human beings. Where do they get the idea that it is ok to burn the homeless, and all the other horrible things we see in the news? Maybe if the media where to report on good deeds instead of the hatred.. it could be better? But I hear that good deeds don’t sell as well.

Over the past few years or so.. meaning 10 to 20 years, we would see and read about kindness. Soup kitchens, not only for the homeless but for the lonely.

Children who have taken their own money, and others who decide to help them.. making sandwiches and handing them out to the homeless, some even giving out gloves or mittens in the cold.. Old ladies who have made caps for them to hand out to the homeless with the sandwiches.  Some collecting blankets to pass out with them.

Now you read how they are ARRESTING people for doing the same thing.. For those who will bring a large soup kettle, and home made sandwiches, handing out bottles of water… being ARRESTED..  What has this country come to?

The hatred promoted by elected officials from the President on down..  Rants in chorus, on street corners.  Why all this hatred?

I once was told that hatred came from those who did not understand, so hated instead of learning..  That if you can teach someone what the other side of the issue is like, that those same people were less liable to hate.   If that is so, we need a HUGE learning curve for those haters.

So does that mean, it is easier to hate?  Is it the lazy thinker, who finds it too much to find good in a situation?   That hating is easier?  That is sad, if true.
