wise words and good advice. i respect you and will chew on this for a while. thank you

the other aspect of it is that the truly destructive forces who use hate to fuel their power schemes are the ones dictating to us not to hate. they use tanks to shoot at us while telling us to put our sling down. I’ve always been more Malcolm that Martin, although I very much respect both

as i know you well enough, i commend you in your struggle to define this emotion and to overcome it and perhaps be better than it. If I may ask, is that the only emotion that you are trying to avoid? or tame? For me, all human emotions, are part of the package which obviously has a purpose

it’s a human emotion that we cannot avoid. well, we can try. so what are we supposed to feel about bullies??
