To love or to not hate

To love or to not hate


I'm not very good at conveying my ideas to society cause we think and live in parallel non-meeting worlds. But i'll try to keep it simple, short and help you comprehend some humane concepts in a socially relatable way. Love. Love is an overused word, and whichever word is used extremely frequently and easily, it undergoes degeneration and it tends to lose its value and meaning. Love is a big word. A heavy word. A word that even if we debate its meaning with all the philosophers, writers and artists of the world we won't be able to even scratch its surface cause all great and diachronical things are only learnt in experience and not with passive logical comprehension.

And we come to our era. An era that glorifies cold and sterile logic cut off from the human values, salutes ego and narcissism and self-occupation, and creates people/individuals rather than humans. An era that has put love in the freezer, and whoever truly has it seems abnormal, absurd and dysfunctioning. "You don't care first and mostly about your personal interest? You are a loser. You exploit and manipulate others? You are smart, and a winner (lets see who will save you from yourself who is actually winning over your very life if you live by such rules)". "Love" is merely anymore a cheesy valentine-esque commercialised remnant of industrialised capitalism.

So in an era when love is not even relatable or understandable, i think we should talk about something more simple (but far from simple in its practical application). We should talk about non-hatred.


If you can't love, at least try to not hate. This is the basic thing that all self proclaimed civilized people should at least try to do. On the surface it might seem simple. In fact it's far from it. Hopefully though, it provides a much better quality of life and peace both inside the person itself and its surrounding environment.

Do you have anger inside you? Do you keep hard feeling against other people? Do you judge easilly? Do you judge others all the time? Do you slander other people and accuse them of things they are not responsible for? Do you have jealousy in your heart and try to find the slightest mistake in another person to burn it with the first chance you get? Do you never care and act as if others matter not in your life and your own well being? If you do these things you hate, and hatred is poison. Poison for our own selves above all. If you can't love try at least not to hate. Forget love. Is love too big and scary and unearthly and untouchable as a word? I'm with you on that. Let's at least try to cultivate non-hatred. How better the world would be if we all tried to cultivate non-hatred? To paraphrase a writer "i believe the floor of hell will be comprised of the skulls of those people who did nothing but judge others in their life and spread horrible slander without thinking about the consequences".


Remember friends, you are not born a human, you can become one with a lot of struggle, personal development and by building meaningful bonds with others. Non hatred shall be our flag from now on. "I don't ask to reach heaven I at least ask to not become my fellow human's hell". Au revoir, for now.
