For this blog post I had originally planned on writing about TV shows that are coming back from their winter hiatuses. While we will definitely get into that at some point because Lord knows, I love my TV shows. Today however I want to steer us in a much different direction. I want to talk about something I have been feeling all around me. Hate. As a very famous man, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." What I'm trying to get at here is exactly what Dr.King said. If you feel someone hating you or spreading hate in the world, love them. Love them until it hurts, until you are physically sitting on the ground in tears because you love them so much, even if they continue to hate you. Recently, I have felt the very heavy weight of hate in my life. Now, I don't have the dictionary definition of "Hate" for you, but for me personally its a little like this. To hate someone is to refuse to show them compassion, empathy, or love and yet to continually welcome their love for you. To use the love they give, help they provide, and time they spend attempting to earn a love that you never intend to give. To me this is a form of hate. As I type these words I feel a phantom twinge of pain in my heart that feels all too familiar. All I try to spread in this word is love. Sometimes misguided, unwanted, or unappreciated. I want people to love me. We all do, it's just human nature. I feel emotion harder than most. So, I know what it means to empathize. I feel peoples pain and attempt to repair it by offering myself as their band aid. Like a band aid, this often leads to me being used, and later thrown away when I'm determined to be less useful then I once was. For someone like me, who only wants to help and gain love, trust, and support this is the single worst feeling. So, the moral of this story is that I want everyone to figure out if your someones hater. Because if you are it's time to reevaluate some things in your life. If you are keeping people from loving you, it is paramount that you discover why. Hunter.
