Transforming Hatred into Love
Mankind in the present times is technologically evolving very aggressively. People have ambition, needs, desires and wants that are larger than them and their lives. We feel pressured and compelled to live in a very competitive environment and aggressive surroundings so it is very natural for a lot of us to live in comparison and experience competition, jealousy and hatred. These very traits form the foundation of unhealthy value systems in humans and abuse and violence related with it.
How do we transform these severe poisons that affect us? How do we experience a better change in regards to our environment, greater love in our relationships and a sense of harmony with everyone?
There is no doubt that Divine Love itself is the transforming element but one may find it very difficult to experience this love so long as they carry anger, jealousy and hatred in their hearts. Love can be experienced very easily but unfortunately for a heart that is afflicted with these grosser poisons it does not come to experience love for itself immediately.
Therefore it is very essential for us to recognize and cure ourselves from the poison that we carry within our heart. It does not take much to become hateful and it does not take much to release ourselves from this poison of hatred. The only difference between accepting and rejecting hatred in our lives lies in the fundamental choice of self awareness and the self acceptance of love that we live with.
Hatred poisons our entire being. It affects us to our very core and if left unattended, it deteriorates into Self- loathe that hardens us and makes us completely numb in every way possible. Hence for a healthy living, one has to get rid of hatred from their life.
Our relationship with others cannot have a prolonged destiny if we infuse it with hatred. Our health too gets affected with hatred. We live in bitter resentment and finally ruin our good health forsaking the opportunity to live a happier and a healthier life. In effect, the lesser the hatred we live with, the healthier we are.
It is a very natural phenomenon for children to live as their parents live. If parents, without realizing are living with hatred, they too will compel their children to live and grow in hatred. That will only unfold greater tragedies for the oncoming generations.
The violent outbursts and abuse caused by hatred are the major causes of sicknesses affecting our society. Therefore, just accepting a “No Hatred” way of living is enough to cause a great transformation.
If we can’t give love, at least we should not give abuse and hatred. If we can’t say something good about somebody at least we should not speak badly about them. Just by remaining quiet and accepting that, unfolds a greater strength within the spirit.
Man was not born for hatred, he was born to live in love and if love is too difficult at least let us not spread more hatred around. This world has already become a toxic playground. And we don’t need more of venomous self loathing environments. Just accepting this is enough to bring a great change within us, and the moment it happens within us we see it happening everywhere. That is the Grace.
