love instead of hate

Love Vs. Hate

I was pondering about this yesterday. I used to hate a lot of things, I used to hate dirt, people, circumstances.

Now I don't think I hate anything. I may get mad or upset but it doesn't even last long. I know if it did, it would affect ME and no one else.

I use love now to fight off anything I don't want in my life and to bring things into my life which I need/want and deserve.

I don't hate dirt, as a matter of fact, I love my trash, I put all the scraps back into my backyard, I dig the compost daily. All the other trash I recycle. I don't hate doing any of that, I love it and wouldn't want anyone else doing it in my house. In theirs, yes, they should try it!

I used to hate certain people and people's actions. I don't hate that now.
when I hear about an abusive person for example, I don't hate the person, I dislike the actions he/she is doing and I try to understand why. The person is SUFFERING and that's why they are brutal verbally, physically and even emotionally because they are HURT. There's a book called "when anger hurts" and explains these concepts.

I used to hate certain circumstances and now I see them as a reason for being there. When people get angry with me or upset it's my fault, there is something I need to change in ME.

Taking full responsibility for our own actions is the only way to solve problems and understand each other. No other way.

We must CARE about people and people will CARE about us.

I spoke to my trash collector yesterday, I look forward to seeing him because he's a human being like everyone else EXCEPT he is the MOST Ignored. At least little kids like to wave but really, it's a very sad thing. We look at them as "connected to their trash truck" and they are not, they are people too! He told me he has a 20day old baby at home, and has a loving wife. I was so touched! I gave him a small gift for baby. I invited him over too, why not!!! he lives here in my city! amazing what LOVE for people can do.
