hate is more economically safe than love

i see what you're saying and i've seen it happen to lots of people. but, hey... my dad never lost his "excitement of youth", he kept it until the day he died. and he changed things in the world. so maybe i can too.

 

no maybe about it

 

Instead of hating what's bad, why not love what's good?

 

You miss-interperate what im saying


Blind hatred can make you act irrationaly, but a hatred of something can get you to change it. This does not at all mean you will try so solve it with violence, or irrational actions.


If i were to love my oppressor, i would have less desire to stop my oppressor than if i was to hate him. A healthy sense of hatred can stop things, with the anti-fascist movement being jsut one example. Cable Street was a clear example of how hatred towards fascists could undermine the fascist movement in the UK.


To supress an emtion is not good. Emotions are there for a reason, and they help you understand your surroundings. Hate seems to have this stigma around it, but it is but an emotion.

why not both?

 

if i were to love my oppressor, i would want what was best for him and want him not to experience anger or hate towards me or anyone, because nobody enjoys those feelings more than they would enjoy peace and happiness.

there is a definate line between approval and love. they're worlds apart. approval would mean i can see myself doing the same thing. i know that's not the exact word i'm looking for, but i can't think of a better one. so i don't approve of the actions of most people, because i know how i live my life and think i'm doing a good job. but i love the actions of all people, because every time they fuck up or every time they have an epiphany they're growing in their own beautiful process of self realization. we're all going to get to the same point eventually. i really believe that. sometime, everyone has to be happy and peaceful. maybe not in this lifetime, but SOMETIME. so why not shorten the process? just accept that all the hurt they have inflicted has been a part of their journey, and try to be part of their future.

i don't supress emotions. i have tons of emotions. i scream and cry and laugh and everything like everyone does. but i don't hate people because people are hosts to emotions that change constantly. your emotion at any moment is not who you are. so i guess i do hate. i hate anger and sadness and hopelessness, i hate hate. but i don't hate the people who carry these emotions, no matter how long they are active in them.

i think we're saying the same things. but you seem to associate love with being blissfully unaware of what is going on, or not caring. not acting or working towards anything. the hate you're describing is almost like the love i'm describing. your hate is love in a hurry. when things are rushed, details are missed.

yeah, ...the ancient egyptians wore makeup. and of course if you don't bathe for an incredibly long time people won't want to be around you. there is just such an incredible amount of different "neccesities" that we kind of forget, you can go a few days without them. you don't NEED them. on an everyday basis, you can get by with less than half of them.

i know what you mean about defense mechanisms, and masks. i'm an entirely different person when i'm alone. if i have a song in my head, i'll start singing it mid-verse. if i stare at my hand for an hour without saying anything it's okay. i really want to be around someone who can be alone while i'm around.




blegh. i'm getting tired of the way i write. i'm sure everyone else is too. x__X

I love you OnlyOne!

Prismatism ... I love you too.

I love everyone who posted in this thread ...

I think Love is the only way ... love thy neighbor ... love everyone!

The world is divided ... the haters - who hate everyone, and their opinions .. and the lovers, who love everyone and their opinions. It's sad that we can't just tell the haters to LOVE ... I wish the whole world saw everything through my eyes, it really would be a utopia ... my utopia.

The problem is ... if everyone saw the world in their ideal - their utopia, there would be chaos, pure chaos ... Not everyone thinks love and peace is the answer. Some people think ... kill the 'niggers' kill the 'fags' kill everyone who is opposed to my mindset ... that causes hate. that causes violence ... that causes oppresion.

I really don't think we will ever see ideal conditions on this earth for as long as we live ... there will always be haters and there will always be lovers .. but the lovers need to be STRONGER than the haters so that someday we can rise above.

I love you ALL - every one of you ...

P.S. I am drunk.

Much love.

 

i love you too. you were quite good at writing for being drunk.

i think we're all gonna have to "whip into shape" pretty soon (not an appropriate term, but, you know...) simply because we'll get to the point where we either love INTENSELY or die off as a race.

it's pretty much proven inevitable by now. we have wars and global warming and overpopulation and bird flu and melting ice caps and satan's coming in five days (), girls are starving themselves, people without a choice are starving because they have to, there are people suffering with diseases they think have no cure when the cures are being hidden, there are all these "natural disasters", and it's the "end times". but all we can do is bitch about our fat neighbor who plays his bach too loud and lets his sprinkler sprinkle all over our yard. or flip off that guy who was driving too slow in front of us as we pass. we bitch and moan about problems we create and don't even think about ones that matter. and if we do think about them, we think, "what a shame", and assume all we can do is watch the planet crumble.

and now i'm preaching again. sorry. but man, there are so many things in this world that are worth our effort... and we waste our energy on being mean. or on entertaining ourselves with repetative activities...

it's gonna get worse before it gets better. but it'll get better.

 

Prismatism,

I'm new here, but I have to tell you that I'm really impressed with the way you think, feel and write, and at such a young age. You're obviously a very evolved being. And no, I don't get tired of the way you write - it evinces a profound spiritual clarity. Wish that there were more people in the world like you, but if you continue to practice your philosophy of focused love, there will be! Have you ever seen the movie "No such thing?" You remind me of the girl in that movie, who tried to heal this monster (who had killed her fiancee') with her boundless love.

Peace and love

 

oh wow. this is such an old thread ... but thank you so much. i fuck up sometimes, but i try really hard to love, your encouragement is an awesome reminder not to give up. i've never seen the movie, but i'll keep it in mind.

thank you <3 and welcome to the forums
