The Opposite Of Love Is Not Hate – It’s Indifference

Can I ask you a serious question reader? Why exactly are you STILL holding on to your hate for that man? Why exactly are you still holding on to that hate for that woman? If you think that fostering HATE for that person is what you need to do to get over them – you are truly CLUELESS.
Understand this point: Hate is not the opposite of Love, because both are based on being obsessive and over emotional which is exactly NOT how you get over someone breaking your heart, letting you down or ruining your trust in them. Love and Hate both require you to invest a lot of mental and emotional effort into thinking about that person and developing an intense, critical reaction to even just hearing their VOICE or someone saying their name. If you want to find peace and happiness, you can’t have a heart filled with any hate, because the balancing force of Love is NOT Hate – It’s Indifference.

It’s about getting to a point where you just don’t care what that person does, and you can honestly wish them the best because you no longer harbor hateful, mean spirited and badminded thoughts towards them, because you are truly past that. Anybody who has wronged you intentionally in the past can go to hell, because it’s ultimately THEIR LOSS they can’t share in the success and joy of YOUR life anymore. It’s THEIR LOSS that they can’t share those jokes with you anymore, or kiss you, or just call you to hear each other breathe into the phone like two stalkers. THEY MESSED UP when THEY made that stupid DECISION to wrong you and the best way to get on with your life is to clear out any HATE in your heart for them and keep being the best YOU, you can be.

You can call this piece “Let It Go” because that needs to be the theme for a lot of us in these last four and a half months of 2010. We need to just Let It Go and move on because all the toxic feelings we are holding inside are doing nothing but destroying any possibility for having a productive future. Some of us have been so stupid that we have let our hate for the last one, effect the love we can offer to the next one. Think about that for a second and let it really sink in: We have all at one point let our HATE for someone who has wronged us effect how much we can LOVE someone who is trying to do nothing but right by us. Ain’t that some BS.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time to Let It Go. It’s time to realize that we don’t need to LOVE those who wronged us, but we also don’t need to HATE those who wronged us because it doesn’t make us BETTER. It doesn’t make us better people to be around, or better people to learn from, instead it just makes us bitter shells of our formerly happy selves. Love will bring you together; Hate will tear you apart; but indifference will keep you sane.

This Is Your Conscience

No matter your party this should give you reason to consider.

No matter your party this should give you reason to consider.

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.

The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs.

To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him.

After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it
with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment... with enthusiasm.

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of
the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold
water. Nevertheless, none of the monkeys will try to climb
the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask? Because in their minds...
that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates... and is why,
from time to time, all of the monkeys need to be
REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.
