Urban Thought | 10 Observations I believe this to be my third attempt at free writing. I know I’m supposed to freely write without thinking of punctuation and spelling/grammar errors. I’m going to do my best to adhere to those guidelines.
Subject: Hate
Time: 10 minutes
Hate is a strong word. I tell people that all the time and they go ahead with it anyway. Not that I want to change people’s minds when I tell them that HATE IS SUCH A STRONG WORD. but really? Why use such a word? People have spent countless amount of times hating on people. For many reasons people hate… I can easily run down the ways that people use the word hate: I hate my life. I hate you. I hate myself. I hate the way I look. I hate her. I hate him. I hate them together. I hate the way she/she smells. I hate my smile. I hate her smile. I hate going there. I hate that TV show. I hate the way you look at me. I hate my job. I hate getting up in the morning. I hate the way life is for me right now. I hate… I hate… I hate… I hate… Damn, all this emotion that we put into hate and we can spend that on experiencing love. Appreciate the good in all things. Spend less time on the side of hate and instead spend it on the side of love. They say there is a thin line between love in hate. So since it is so damn thin break through it and joins the side of love that has more of a reward to it. Forget about hate, love… love… love. I love myself. I love you. I love us. I love waking up in the morning. I love how that tastes. I love the way you make me feel. I love going out for those long walks on the beach while spending time with you and looking into your eyes. I love just sitting around and relaxing. I love the way we all get along and can have a good time. I know it all sounds cheesy. At some point it can be. But who never liked a piece of cheese? I mean really. Cheese and crackers and all that good stuff. But if you are lactose intolerant then the cheese thing may not be good for you. But I digress. I have to go on to rethink the reason why I wrote this post. Oh yeah, its about the people and the waste of energy and emotion we put into hate. Did you know that people spent decades trying to get over the hateful acts of others? So why would you want to continue on that path? I mean really… I don’t think we should worry about other people if all we are going to do is think of hateful words and hateful actions to bestow on them. Why not go for what is easier? Focus on you and what you can do to improve on yourself. I say this… If you have enough time to go ahead and hate on someone else then you definitely don’t have enough o your plate to start loving yourself. And if you do already love yourself then you aren’t focusing on maintaining that love. Because the moment you utter the word hate out your mouth you may be setting yourself up for karma to come and bite you. And we know how karma works. I know I don’t have to go into her balancing act of correction. Hate it or love it the sun will still shine. You have go along in life realizing people are going to hate on you. That they are going to want to destroy you. You think that hate that they have has anything to do with you? You may be wrong gif you answer yes. Most times, and I didn’t do the math on this, but most times it may be the insecurities the harbor within themselves that causes them to hate you. It may be what they admire, envy even, that causes them to look at you with disgust and hatred. Chalk it up to the beautiful person that you are and realize that you have something that they want. Understand that you are beautiful and that you can overcome all hate that amongst you. You know what is the worst/best thing you can do to piss the haters off? Be successful. Do the damn thing and enjoy your life and just smile about it all. People don’t like happy people unless they are happy themselves. Haters are miserable folk who haven’t appreciated life and that which has been afforded to them. So let the haters hater and let the lovers love. Let yourself strive to be something greater than you were yesterday and realize that you have not time to hate. Don’t hate, celebrate. Don’t get upset. Get set to make big things happens. Don’t be a player. Play the game to your advantage so you can grow.
I think my ten minutes is up now.
How do you like me now? Haters.

Amen!
Wonderful and very inspiring. I gotta try me some Free Writing! I like the lactose-intolerant digression, that is SO ME and isn’t that the way the mind works?
I do agree, which is why I try not to use it lightly. But I know I am capable of hate. What I hope and trust is that I am incapable of harming another because of it. Much of discipline is not about changing our feelings, but letting them go and not letting them be the author of our deeds.
Sounds good. Now to lesson 1 for me!

Well, I hate haters, if that makes any sense.
I agree that most haters are miserable people. It seems that there are more and more of them these days. You can be sitting somewhere, happy, free and minding your own business, and here come a group of them just looking to rain on your parade. Trying to be the ants at your picnic. I usually just step on ants, but then that takes me out of my happy place, doesn’t it? lol
In a way, I guess by hating back, you let the haters win. I do love squashing those little bugs, though! But just being my fine, fabulous self seems to hurt ‘em the most!
I LOVED “But if you are lactose intolerant then the cheese thing may not be good for you” that sentence
Lavenderbay: Glad you liked it.
Ms. Q: Go ahead and stress those Free Writing Muscles. My mind is always working that way. Glad I’m in good company.
TelevisionTraci: I’ll try to get to the tag as soon as I can. My mind is some place else at the moment.
EOTR: Sounds like you got it covered. We all have hate within us. How we express it and handle it is key.
FD: Of course it makes sense. Not sure if Peta would have some concerns about that. But perhaps they don’t consider ants as much of an issue as a fox. Either way, allowing someone to take that much energy from you can be draining. I say smack them in the face with success and ever lasting happiness. Keep being the fabulous person you are and keep the haters in their place.
Meleah: Looking back, I think that is my favorite too. Such a segway, not quite, but still.
“But if you are lactose intolerant then the cheese thing may not be good for you.”
Priceless. Something about the free write that I find so difficult. I always feel like I have to edit myself. . . great words UT.
I have found myself hating a number of thing UT. It is a great expense of energy. I think loving is hard because it involves so much trust and a slight loss of control.
OP: Like most things in life we have to learn to get over it. You know I have no problem not editing myself when I speak my mind. Writing is tougher though cause you want it to be readable, to the point, and clear. But free writing allows for mistakes and thoughts to be off the dome, fresh and free of worry.
Ricardo: Indeed, we’re all going to experience it. How better to know about something if not to experience it? Loving is hard. I find myself shying away from it. I actually disconnect myself from love and get into caring. Care all your want. Then you can hold on to your sense of control and trust. Protect your heart at all costs Ricardo.
