Deep, Dark, Mind Controlling...Hate?

Author’s Note: I wrote a piece on love and now I wanted to do the opposite. Write about hate, this is a very strong word, and its deep and dark. This piece is about how others hurt themselves more than they hurt you when hating.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you are riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake up and live! This is a feeling that everyone has to feel in life, and it is not a pleasant feeling to have deep in your heart. I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty.  Others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself. This is a huge part of living, I am young yet I have figured this out. Set aside the ones who hate and bring forward the ones who really care. Destroying yourself won’t make anything better, believe in the ones who can understand you. Many of my friends don’t understand this yet, and that is what really destroys relationships between friends.

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated. Even though we are deceived, still believe. Though we are betrayed, still forgive. Love completely even those who hate you. I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Although, we have gone over and over what hate can be. Its different for everyone. Hate is the extreme love of anything. As in love, we want to be with the loved one ,we want to think feel the love object. Our ego is merged in the wholeness of being with the person, or the object of love.

That Deep Feeling....Love?

Author’s Note: Below is a piece written about love. Throughout the piece, I tried to put emphasis on the joy that it brings us.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. One of the best feels that we all dream of!  A drop, just one simple drop of bravery is all you need, the day you've been waiting for your whole life and its perfect. A moment you will be implanted in your brain for life, the moment you will never let go. Timing perfect, I remember it like it was yesterday.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone. Most girls can think of when they feel in love with someone. His eyes, the way he expresses himself, the beautiful features on his head that I dare to call a face because of his perfection. It truly isn't that easy, many fall for the looks and force themselves to love the way they truly are.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. It’s the way that you connect. The way you feel around each other, and how much you sincerely and truly deeply crave for each other. One can want, yet at the same time they doubt themselves, you want and if you truly want you will push yourself, make this happen.

We get confused and tied up in love, people will wonder, what is love? Simple but complicated, love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop. Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. No one can explain the unremarkable love for each other, it is an unknown force. I’d love it to stay that way.
