Like it, favourited. I detect that you don't hate the haters, but merely observe. Or is there some subdued anger in your tone? Is such question just sophistry? There are more questions than answers in this world I guess, or should be. It did bring a verse of Dylan to mind:
"As some worn victory, some downfall, private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all except hatred..."
It is hard to stay unattached. I do not consider myself merely an observer, and I am invested in the concept of humanity. Hate is a trap, and I understand people who fall into it. The anger I am subduing is for the willfully ignorant, the petty and the vile, who will do whatever they can to further their hatred and to see it spread.
If I had answers, though, I would give them. The best I can tell people is to do their best.
@Friendough Thanks for that, and the profile comment. I wasn't really suggesting (I hope) that you would be cold & detached. I see the distinction between being in the hater trap oneself, and being outside that trap and angry that people fall into it. All the best.
BTW Excellent point, we're all one species and we share this planet, our differences are trivial in the grand scheme of the cosmos. We need to start thinking bigger.
Another anti-misanthrope extremist pushing his agenda of open minded consideration. We'll never be safe to destroy ourselves until people wake up to the real danger this acceptance and tolerance poses to our emptiness.
Stop the love! It's almost too late!!
Ok...done being impish. :) Really well put together there Freindough. Not too long. Clear in message. Good for you. Found myself scanning my own thoughts, for this kind of us/them stuff. Found some. Thanks.
Where do people get the energy to hate? And where do they get the notion that the past holds a perfect blueprint for the future? I think they have that blueprint upside down. And they spilt some coffee on it too. The dog may have eaten had a gnaw on it once or twice. And it's been bleached by the sun, folded incorrectly, crumpled in haste and scrawled on by children. But who needs reality when vanity feels so goood?!! Great video.
Is it ok to hate everyone including oneself? I have a soft spot for that "Dirty Harry" school of hating, you know the bit when De georgio says to Gonzales "Ah, that's one thing about our Harry, he doesn't play any favourites. Harry hates everybody, limeys, micks, hebes, dagos, niggers, honkeys, chinks, you name it . . . .
Ah, now you have me in a real dilemma. I love movies, and Clint Eastwood... I do have a soft spot for the anti-hero. So, sure, I guess. Make sure that you hate yourself as much as you hate everyone else. Your hate makes you strong. It gives you FOCUS.

Complete, absolute, uncut, raw wisdom. Thank you. Peace.
