Hatred upon hatred

Sun., Aug. 9, 2020

Hate is one of those words whose meaning depends on context. One might say “I hate your hatm” whereas, “I hate blacks” has a much greater level of intensity. Rightfully, protesters are publicizing the hatred some have for others.

The irony is that many of them are also displaying hatred for whites. This world could be at peace if each of us removed this level of hate from our mind and soul; just as John Lewis and Martin Luther King begged us to do.
