Guest post by "Mystic pecan" This is a bit long. The fact is hate is the easiest thing to do, if you pick to hate and fear, you don't need to learn or grow and nothing is your fault. All the haters in my life are people who wants to blame the world for why they are not rich or not powerful. Some want everyone to see their opinions as fact. Read the doctrine of haters through history, it starts off simple, and spirals out, no one ever notices it, if hate gives a person absolute power what happens when the group who is prosecuted runs out, they find new ones to prosecute. It starts off "Lets isolate them" and the followers support their righteous leaders. The followers don't get infinite food and harmony or streets of gold or heaven on earth. So the leaders take it further, untill they actually resort to genocide. Hitler did that exact thing. Hate is the easiest tool for manipulation. and what happens when a nation does not solve all the problems like that? they blame more and more people. Some folks are so intwined in hate, that they ignore all good examples and see only bad ones, they are literally blind to anything that denies their belief.
Truth cares not what we believe in or feel. Even if hate wins this age, new people will be born with new ideals. The only hope is one day we will learn from history's cycles of hate and acceptance. Which built the nations and which collapsed them. And, it was not hate that built the sky scrapers bridges railroads airplanes and even a rocket used in war was once the dream of a man who wanted to go to the stars. Hate separates, tortures hate tares down houses and nation, hate burns bridges and crushes hopes. Hate closes borders and limits Knowledge.
Acceptance, compassion, learning, growing all these things tie in. when we accept another persons ways, we might see the things they do that's good for the world or others around them. An accepted and loved person is inspired, hopeful, and while people on hard times make beautiful art and create ideas it is always with hope they will see a better day. Compassion is the greatest power of humanity, and empathy is the reactant that fuels compassion, like a wick to a flame, empathy is to hope. If we cannot empathize with another human does that make them less human or us? Learning, is not easy, nor is tilling a field and growing a crop, nor can you do that without being taught how to do so. And growing is never ending the world will alter and change for all time the mounts will wear to hills while others will crest above Everest one day, lands will crack and split by waters. The only reason we don't notice is because we are so small, we can not see far in time nor the world. For some hate and fueling powers who hate makes them feel strong, powerful and a little less small. As I learn how small I am, I learn how great I can be, I do not see my littleness as weak, but as potential, I am human, I can build, I can think, I can invent, I can live in snow capped mountains, on seas, in jungles, in desserts. I can make ice, fire, lightning, wind, and many other things. I can see stars far from the world I live, and things so small that millions can live on a pin. I can only do these things thanks to others, and I can only do these things with knowing I am doing it with the help of others. That is the ultimate weakness of the haters, and power of acceptance. When you can accept you are but one dust grain in the cosmos, and must accept the strength and will of surroundings in accepting that weakness, it can give you power.
