For the Haters, who are us...
I think we all need to realistically admit that we currently hate someone, or at least something about someone. Okay, are you there? Good.
We need to stop hating everyone = Love everyone = Hoping that everyone loves everyone by the end of their lives.
I know people who have more hatred in their hearts than I do, I can say that for certain. And they have told me that they hate that about themselves.
So to help them, I would suggest, look at the person that you think you have the least hatred towards. Then look at an aspect of them that you hate the least. Then, try to allow yourself to figure out ways that you can forgive them of that aspect, or maybe realize how it might not be their fault that they are that way. Once you get there, you have just made yourself hate that person less.
It may take time, it may take a lifetime, but I think that you will find, the more you forgive, the more you will love people in general, and love yourself.
Note: I am not saying that you shouldn't be angry, or help that person to correct their fault, if it truly is a fault, and the opportunity arises. But if you do both of those things with a feeling of hatred, you won't be able to get a grasp on why it's wrong, you won't be helping anyone, and you might even cause them to hate you more.
Please give me feedback, and let me know what you think,
In love,
Danny
