Why Some People Hate

Some people hate because they do not know how to love. I feel sorry for them; I wonder if they were ever loved. But can I help them? No. They have to figure out love for themselves. It is easy to recognize these non-lovers. Their sentences begin this way I hate …. I hate …. I hate ….. I am not talking just three sentences, I am talking about a passel of sentences; they hate all’s too. I hate all I hate all I hate all My neighbor told me that she hates all liberals. I asked her if she has ever met one. She said, “I hope not”. I am the most liberal liberal I know. I did not bother her with this. What would be the point?

I think they can. I am pretty sure I can too.

Hmmm...you are wiser than I am. When a friend says this to me, I am quick to say that I am a liberal's liberal. This gives them the opportunity to either suddenly dislike me or reconsider their thinking based on what they know about someone they know.

...To "reconsider their thinking based on what they know about someone they know." Would that we could do that in a peacefully productive manner...
