A brilliant yet simple write you have pointed out here Akkina. Hate has nothing to spare but share in-kind. Misery loves company because they hate the thought of anyone being happy or of warm heart

This word comes from Greek - it means a person who hates others - I am half Greek but fluent in Greek. These people should all go to the same Greek Island with no way of coming back into civilization! Great Monoku my dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Yes it is a Greek word and how cool that you're fluent in Greek. So amazing :) Well thank you very much for your lovely visit and comment my beautiful friend :)

When Hate lives within the heart, love is pushed to the side. The sad truth is- many live this way. I wish it weren't so. This is deep, powerful and emotional, all at the same time. ~ Brandy

Reminds me of the 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' a kind of person, that only wants to bring down everyone to their level and be evil. You say it so well in this your 'Monoku

Very powerful statement dear Akkina! We can never expect a word of love coming out of this kind of man! Missos=Hate and Anthropos = Man : Misanthrope, Misanthropic, Misanthropist! A combined Greek word! Unfortunately we have many people like that. Well done!

A truism. I have had occasions where hate tempted me but I tried always to be strong. I hate no one. Can't say about others though. ~~
Downing  Avatar
January 12, 2021 at 7:26 PM
I'm sure most of us have felt that way and been tempted more than we can count, but as long as we stay connected with God, His love will keep us stronger and joy... Thank you, my friend :)
