Hate! IS NOT THE ANSWER!
Fire and Ice (Robert Frost)
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice

Is also great
And would suffice.
Passion (over-passion) is just as damaging as hate.
Lately, I am troubled by the length and breadth of hate. The (quickly) learned behavior to lash out and judge based on an ambiguous killer. I read at length the ideas of how a scientific solution gets validated. Testing and knowledge of the reaches — that this thing — this pandemic has clawed itself into — are flawed with the good intentions of ill-paned roads.
As a society, we are all truly just doing the best we can — with the knowledge we have — at the point when our decisions are made. That’s it!
With all we are and have access to — why are we bent on hating each other? Judging based on what? The best information at the time? YES! Because that is what it is.
To truly be an expert in covid — my research tells me it will be years to fully understand and protect ourselves. Years! Covid is upon us now! But, we choose to HATE our neighbors! Hate our coworkers! Hate our friends and family! Because they do not adhere to whatever best practices we might take to heart — especially, if their research has leads them down another path.
In my mind, HATE!! Is NEVER a solution! Choose the path to not HATE — to NOT destroy! Choose to NOT give levy to the things set upon us to destroy us!
Do we not have enough to deal with — of social unrest — of financial strain — to invite the eager hands of hateful manipulation disguised as a global pandemic of death — to rule our decisions?
I am at such a loss and truly broken with how easily and readily hate is dispensed.
