- I have seen and heard repeated references to hate. It is alledged that
- (somebody) has hated (somebody else) for 100 years or 500 years or 1000
- years.
-
- I don't know anyone that has hated anybody for 100 years, let alone 500
- or 1,000 years. I do know that some people have been TAUGHT to hate other
- people. And history demonsrates that people are only too willing to be
- TAUGHT TO HATE. And other people BENEFIT from TEACHING PEOPLE TO HATE.
-
- Would someone explain to me when it is GOOD for one people to teach hate
- for another people? When is it good in ANY way: moral, ethical, economic,
- political, or whatever way you want to talk about.
-
- History provides too many examples of when it has been BAD for one people to
- teach hate for another people. In fact, I can think of some examples when
- the VICTIMS OF HATE became haters of others.
-
- I don't expect to get any responses to this message, but I will keep trying...
- Perhaps only in the next life will people replace hate with respect.
- And, yes, even love...
