It'll take you less than a couple seconds to leap online and find spewing hate. The news, the posts we see, the comments we read. It's all there. The Net has become an acceptable stomping ground for those who want to hide behind a keyboard and write whatever they need to about somebody. They can criticize, spread filth, and in numerous cases take things to a completely new degree. A degree that only promotes hate.
Hate breeds more hate.
If you have truly ever felt it within, you know precisely what I am talking about. When you harbor hate in your heart, you start hating other things and people also. While the internet is just one out of very many methods folk can deliver hate with, it does act as a pretty clear example of how things are going in our world today. We have made a system in which hate has the ultimate protection. People have the ability to hide behind a user name which virtually guarantees that the comments themselves won't see the forces of responsibility for its actions.
In the face of this just about overpowering raging stream of hate, we need to press on.
Why?
Because we should preach what we truly love ...rather than lashing out at what we abhor.
I'm really not delusional about the world. I am really not that slightly off guy on the news who is hilariously known in his neighborhood for being Mr. Cheerful literally 24/7. That sort of unbalanced one-way lifestyle is unhealthy for you. I have my awful days. I have days where I find myself in a conflict between love and hate, acceptance and closing down, and these are days when I am going to fight. These are days when I'm reminded of what I believe in. Regardless of how hard it may be.
The dose the world wishes in a unceasing drip, is support.
Many need to be encouraged for what they are doing, for failing and trying again, for giving a great effort and moving forward. It isn't about removing hate from the world, it is about balancing it out with acts of love. The world, like ourselves, can get out of alignment and thrown off once in a while. Folks will begin to see the worst of everything because truthfully, that's what we are shown. We are consistently the subject of the bad stuff. Turn on the TV. Automobile crashes, 10 dead in school shooting, riots, unrest in nations all around the world, giant coverups, violations of privacy, oil spills and nuclear meltdowns. With all this, no wonder we have a gloomy view of what is going on.
I believe that a steady drip of love and incentive can change lives. It changed mine, so why can it not change others?
The ripple effect you can have on the world is way beyond your comprehension. Hell, I don't even know. But I have complete faith that it is going down. You can turn someones day around in a heartbeat.
Motivate those around you. You might not agree with precisely how they are doing it, but absolutely do not step on them for it. People need to learn their way. Frequently we have the best intentions when making an attempt to help others, but at the end, almost everyone has their own trail to stroll. Walk with them, do not make an effort to take the rug out from under them.
Encouragement matters.
