No Room


Let there be no room for hatred within you. Hatred is the great perversion. It twists those it rules into ruins of their former selves. As it festers inside you, it eats away at you as though it were cancer. You may think you have control but you haven't. It controls you as it gnaws at your thoughts controlling your waking and you sleeping hours. By allowing it room to bring such pain  to you is an intolerable burden. It is a debilitating curse.

Such hatred is surely born of great hurt.  At some stage of your life, someone has caused you great pain. Maybe you have been wounded in love, betrayed by  a lover you thought loved you with all their being. Learning perhaps of their infidelity or their ceasing to love you as they once did both disturbs and upsets you beyond belief. It is this hurt that turns to resentment and then to anger before blossoming into hate.

If hate has you at its command it is difficult, but not impossible, to break free. Love is the only remedy, the only cure. In 1963 my grandfather scribbled in an auotgraph book I still have 'Love Conquers All.' He died two years later. The words live on and are still true today as they were then, love really does conqueror all even hate.
