I like to think that I don't hate anything. Which is probably a lie.
But that is one thing about me, I often lie to myself so I can convince myself that I am some type of way. Once I'm convinced, it's the practical truth.
I also do that when it comes to confidence. I am not a very confident person, but once I convince myself and take on the role of a confident person, that is what I become.
But, about hate. I've been seeing a lot of people 'ok' with hating things. And sure, I understand it, we are used to it. But shouldn't people realize that hate is something you should avoid? I'm not implying you should love everything, of course you can dislike things. But hate is using your energy negatively towards someone or thing. What's the point?
My thinking is:
It should be a 'no brainer' that we shouldn't set negative things in motion.
But then again, I am aware many people lead different lives, some unaware of how feelings work, and I don't blame them. I pity them... And I can't do anything about it. We all have free will.
I can't prohibit people of hating, it's just not how the world works.
I just hope more people will make an effort to share a chain of goodwill, that people will be less selfish and do good.
It's complicated. People demand from you a stance towards things. They think it's absurd I don't hate Hitler.
Of course I don't hate him, I didn't even know him! I abhor his actions, but I pity him, as well as every murderer and ill minded person, as well as the people who suffered by his doing. All I can ever have for anyone is pity.
I hope for things to get better, for love to be indiscriminate.
Believe it or not, everyone deserves love.
I'm not a religious person, but if you want to learn how to lead a happy life, hear out what that guy Jesus had to say.
I have a set of recurring ideas when it comes to that lately:
Humility seems to be considered a virtue throughout many cultures, and with good reason. In my experience, humility makes you and people around you more amiable. It's not a rule some religion set as a value, but a pattern observed throughout life.
Gentleness was the way I translated "delicadeza" to english. My thinking lately has been that there is great value in being delicate with people, they open up to you at times, and you can lead a more pleasant interaction. It has been my experience that acting in a loving manner disarms people and have them blossom up like a flower.
About happiness, I couldn't quite get to a conclusion yet. It's not to say that you can't feel sad, but that the sadness you feel should be outweighted by how much happiness you strive for and share with people. Similarly to the hate thing, it's like setting the positive energy in motion, and when you share that with other people, family and friends, it sets a cicle of goodness in motion which I think is happiness. Happiness should be shared.
The cycle of hate needs to be broken.
