It'll take you less than a couple seconds to head online and find spewing hate. The news, the posts we see, the comments we read. It's all there. The web has become an acceptable stomping ground for people that wish to hide behind a keyboard and write whatever they want about somebody. They can criticize, spread filth, and in numerous cases take things to a whole new degree. A degree that only promotes hate.
Hate breeds more hate.
If you have ever felt it inside, you know exactly what I'm talking about. When you harbour hate in your heart, you start hating other things and people too. While the web is only one out of very many strategies folk can deliver hate with, it does serve as a pretty clear example showing how things are going in our world today. We have developed a system in which hate has the complete protection. Having 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 consuming raging stream of hate, we need to press on.
Why?
Because we should endorse what we adore rather than striking out at what we hate.
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. Happy literally 24/7. That kind 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, approval and closing off, and these are days when I'm going to go to battle. These are days when I am truly reminded of what I have a belief in. Regardless of how hard it may be.
The dose the world wants in a continuing drip, is support.
Many have to be encouraged for what they are doing, for failing and trying again, for giving a great effort and moving forward. It's not about removing hate from the world, it's about balancing it out with acts of love. The world, just as ourselves ourselves, can get misaligned and thrown off once in a while. People will start to see the nastiest of everything because truthfully, that is what we are shown. We are consistently subjected to the bad stuff. Turn on the news. Car crashes, 10 dead in class shooting, riots, disturbance in nations all around the world, giant coverups, violations of privacy, oil spills and nuclear meltdowns. With all this, no wonder we've got a gloomy view of what is occurring.
I think that a steady drip of love and incentive can change lives. It modified mine, so why can't it help change others?
The ripple effect you can have on the world is way beyond your comprehension in any way. Hell, I don't even know. But I have deep faith that it's occuring. You can turn someones day around in a moment.
Inspire those around you. You might not agree with exactly how they are doing it, but absolutely do not step on them for it. People really need to learn their way. Sometimes we have the most honest intentions when making an attempt to help others, but in the end, everybody has their own journey to walk. Walk with them, do not make an effort to take the rug out from under them.
Encouragement matters.
