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?

John Lawless May 19, 2022 at 1:39 PM can one be "conservatively liberal or liberally conservative?" without driving oneself crazy...great thought provoking write Caren Caren Krutsinger May 19, 2022 at 2:10 PM I think they can. I am pretty sure I can too.

L Milton Hankins May 19, 2022 at 9:03 AM 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. John Lawless May 19, 2022 at 1:34 PM ...To "reconsider their thinking based on what they know about someone they know." Would that we could do that in a peacefully productive manner... Caren Krutsinger May 19, 2022 at 11:37 AM Hahaha I just let it slide, knowing I am not changing any body's mind.
