DON'T HATE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY SIN DIFFERENT FROM YOU.

Is it evil to seek solace when you are lonely? I did. Is it evil to be angry when your friendship is betrayed? I am. Is it evil to be hurt and indignant when people laugh at you and make fun of you for the very things they have been guilty of themselves? I am. Is it evil to leave when you are unwanted? I did. Is it evil to get tired of being told what a fool you are every day? I am. Is it evil to have my own way of expressing myself? I do. Is it evil to get tired of hearing horrible things all day every day? I do. Is it evil to quietly mind my own business and hope you will do the same? I do. Is it evil To Make Someone Wish They Had Never Been Born? You Do. If you want to be loved you have to make people enjoy being around you.

Truth is the light and the light shines upon all that will see. To see one merely has to let into ones heart the glow and the kindness .... So many refuse to open their eyes, much preferring the false security of the abject blindness ... A7
