We choose how we feel. Hatred is a choice, just as love or any other emotion is. No one can be FORCED to hate, it is always a conscious choice. Admitting this is a huge leap toward being a responsible adult. Choosing to view people not as enemies but as equals who are having just as hard a time finding their way in the world as we are is an even greater leap to spiritual and emotional adulthood. Assisting others in finding an easier life may be the greatest leap of all, because it also assists us in attaining peace within, and inner peace is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and each other. Thanks again, ct, for bringing this into the open, Dave.
