- I Hate the Word - Hate -

HATE is a very strong word                      I like the soft words
                    HATE is awful                            why not show consideration
               HATE leads to unrest                              I like the peace
               HATE leads to hostility                           friendship is a joy
                  HATE means war                           why kill, when we can love
            The world is full of HATRED           let`s share the world with happiness

When I was little I used to have little temper tantrums (people hated babysitting me). That doesn't happen anymore and I'm glad... hatred is like a very heavy boulder that you have to lug around with you wherever you go. Why carry a big dumb rock around with you? Another good one! I think this piece, specifically, is one that tells me the most about who you are as a person...

good advice - I've heard that there can't be love without hate - that you have to know one to know the other. what do you think?
