Michael Fulkerson's The Cruelty of Hate and The Consequences of Hate Contest...23 May 25
There was a line crossed long ago that showed me all I need to know . Upon my journey boldly drawn when boundaries were almost gone, and midnight's inky crochet shawl ripped my esteem on thinning pall, with thorns of hate. , of might have been the far off light that I had seen. When lines trespass my space, to raid, I'll guard borders which were mislaid to stop pleasing each friend or kin; though hatred harms real love within . So I choose kindness quite sublime in the name of my own graced time, for warm embrace of empathy tranforms hate to tranquility.

If we go to please everyone, we will be pleasing none. This is a lesson I learnt late in life. But entertaining hate will destroy us. Kindness and empathy are antithetical to hate. Lovely poem with a message, dear Nette.
