I want to hate but instead of hate, we need to use our rage in the matter and that energy to enforce change so that other children like my son won't have to endure what he's going through. But at times it is so hard. The hate tries to win me over - I'm trying though. I know that kindness will do so much more than hate.

Its all too simple to focus on how the negative manifests and overlook the fact that to engage with it on any level is to put ourselves at risk; or at very least having our energies depleted in the effort to keep it at arms length. <br /> <br />*relationship in a very broad use of the word, if I chose to ignore you, (for example), I am still on a certain level still in a relationship with you.Clark Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606902779389446947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-66506685301351275972018-03-31T15:37:27.951-05:002018-03-31T15:37:27.951-05:00Thank you and I wish you the same.Thank you and I wish you the same.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-14323875026281002112018-03-31T15:37:03.328-05:002018-03-31T15:37:03.328-05:00From your lips to God's ear!From your lips to God's ear!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-10610823507593992042018-03-31T13:30:53.727-05:002018-03-31T13:30:53.727-05:00Though hate seems powerful, with its noisy anger, ...Though hate seems powerful, with its noisy anger, love is stronger.
