HATRED
Poison isn’t always something you eat or drink – it can be
an emotion. And hate is one of them, eating you up inside and causing
destruction. Do you have hate in your life? Read on for ways how to control it
before it damages you or your loved ones…
Hate is a mighty strong emotion. This mental venom can
pollute your spirit, poison your soul and seep into all of the relationships
that surround you. Anyone who has found themselves wrapped up in the arms of
hate knows how damaging and mind-consuming it can become. Even the word carries
power, particularly if it comes from a friend, a family member or a child.
While hate can be directed at almost anything, name it;
animals, foods, jobs, movies and the most destructive is hatred toward other
people.

Today, I want you to ask yourself these questions: Does hate
have a place in my life? Do I harbor any feelings of hatred toward myself or
anyone else? If you do, I beseech you to address this negative feeling before
it becomes something much more dangerous. Hate when left unchecked, will drain
your spirit, blemish your soul and darken your days.
Generally
speaking, there are two kinds of hate: the kind that’s turned outward
(explosion), and the kind that’s turned inward (implosion). Both of these will
eat you up inside, so if you find yourself living with hate, perhaps today is a
good day for a little wellness housecleaning.
Hating Others
Hate turned outward is both dangerous and ugly. It can
motivate violent crimes and damaging behaviors. The hatred towards women and their
professed refusal of men fuels desperation and insanity that costs several
people their lives.
At the heart of all hatred is blame, and this is
particularly true for hatred turned outward. When one feels like they’ve been
seriously wronged or victimized by someone, their discontent and anger carries
with it the potential seeds of hatred. Holding on to anger is like grasping a
hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who
gets burned.
The hand that slaps
also has the potential to become the hand that comforts. It all depends how you
choose to use that hand.
However, you can control the feelings that can lead to
hatred. I have developed a different meaning for “hate” – an acronym of the
mindset you need to counter this destructive emotional assault on your mind and
body. Simply think of H.A.T.E this way: Healing Aggressive Thoughts
Emotionally.

Are You the Object of Hate?
If you have ever been the target of hatred, you know how
upsetting, frightening and emotional it can be. Actually, since the overall
effects of hatred are so destructive. Hate, whether turned inward or out,
creates a destructive state of mind that wreaks with your physical health and
emotional well-being. And like a hot coal, the sooner you rid yourself of this
toxic emotion, the less damage it can do and the healthier and happier you’ll
be. Feed hatred and it will grow. Confront it, understand it and disassemble it
and you will grow.
