I found something I still HATE.

[Spirit of Light]

I do still hate wars, weapons, harmful action toward others.
I still hate that some people think they are better or more valuable then other human beings.

You could try to forgive them. You don't have to love them. But hate can eat you up in some cases. It can have its usage, but it can also make it worse.

I have already forgiven them it is the action in it self that is difficult to forgive

Wars, weapons, and harmful actions to others are unfortunately sometimes necessary. It's good to sort them accordingly.

I still hate that some people think they are better or more valuable then other human beings.

That's a tough aspect of human nature to overcome, there are not many humans immune to it. It's how well people are able to overcome even a little of what comes instinctively that sorts them out.

Mmm .. I often think that I don't belong in this world.
..but I suppose that G-d will cause me to die when it is time.

Meanwhile, we have to do the best we can.
We can run away from conflict, and sometimes that is the right thing to do.
Yet at other times, it is not.
I'm not into this "glory business" over victories, but if the righteous do not stand up to evil aggressors, evil will be widespread.

There are certain things that we should hate. We are given the admonishment not only to love what is good, but we have to hate what is bad. Since the fallen flesh tends towards evil, one can love what is good, but they can struggle to hate what is bad. The Pslamist said:

"O you who love Jehovah, hate what is bad."-Psalm 97:10.

"Abhor what is wicked; cling to what is good."-Romans 12:9.

The Psalms also tell us that Jehovah God hates the person who loves violence:

"Jehovah examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one;
He hates anyone who loves violence."-Psalm 11:5.

Another thing that God detests is a haughty and an arrogant person. He despises arrogance so much that he actually opposes the haughty but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble:

"Because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones."-1 Peter 5:5.

But have the "righteous" become the attacker, and not the victims

Example, fighting for Islam does not have to mean war, killing or weapons or even power

 

[muhammad_isa]

But have the "righteous" become the attacker, and not the victims

I do believe that we are approaching times of apocalypse.
Prophet Muhammad SAW said that:

"there will be a lot of unlawful killing. the people who kill won't know why they kill, and the people being killed will not know why they are being killed."

This isn't confined to any religion. It is that mankind will be suffering from the afflictions that they have effectively brought upon themselves.
Climate-change .. mass migration etc.

'Hate' is such a strong word.

 

[Spirit of Light]

'Hate' is such a strong word.

Yes it is a very strong word, and I working on becoming more neutral on these topics

 

[Revoltingest]

'Hate' is such a strong word.

I hate it.

 

[Spirit of Light]

Because of those feelings of hate toward those mentioned issue, it is important that the hate isn't reflected back out, I will have to find a way to love unconditionally and that isn't easy.

You are not alone and hate can be used in a positive way, as we can "hate malice, hate spite, hate hate and hate prejudice. When we hate disunity and discord, we can strive to benefit every human being, to do some good where and when and how we can.."

But maybe it is more an intense frustration? I know when I watch the news strong feelings are raised against the tyrants.

You may enjoy this talk.

Can Hatred Have a Righteous Role?

Thank you for the link Tony. i looking forward to reading it.
I should maybe used the word despise, instead of Hate.

Maybe, maybe not. It is not wrong to say hate in the context that we hate war, we hate injustice, we hate the actions, which Love allows us to address.

We have to find the balance as that hate does not extend to the person/s, they have naught but our Love. We can be angry about the actions, as long as the motivation is to impart Love.

Fully agree with you on this

I accept that all life has intrinsic value with great potential. Maybe I should become a vegetarian.

It would be beautiful if life were about unlocking people's potential for good, and finding cooperative effort in society.

I always fought to have an eternal perspective on life. Temporal perspectives can be very short sighted. Even if life is temporal though, I'm all for trying to bring out the best in others.

There's something about the word ' hate ' , it can be used in a good way, or it can represent everything that's awful about humanity. No one can love everything going through this world. That wouldn't be right!

The thing I hate the most is arrogance. Arrogance is hate without cause, and looking down on people, and the reason for all the wars, and divisions in society. Whether it's by way of material success, beauty, or any other reason there is simply no excuse for arrogance. I'm all for excellence, but arrogance has no part in that.

Hate is a totally negative emotion and mostly destructive but hey that’s humans for you,it’s far more useful imo to appreciate your enemy because if they hate you that’s what they are,sometimes there is no choice to run and so you must fight,to defeat them:

“It is easy to love your friend, but sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is to love your enemy.” – Sun Tzu

Your words holds wisdom @England my lionheart

I dont hold anyone as enemy, and would never physically fight others. I hope my way of fighting with questions, and hopefully one day to only feel compassion for even those who hurt others.
