HATRED

We keep crossing the thin line between sanity and insanity with anger, hatred, jealousy, alcohol or drugs. Without our knowledge we are crossing the line of sanity, enjoying the little bit of madness that we go through, and coming back. But there will be a time when we won’t be able to come back.

You know what, the perception of threat is hatred.When a person feels as if they are in the presence of a threat, they feel fear and that fear is quickly converted into anger and without your knowledge that anger turns into a destructive hatred.Hatred is the human ego in a state of defense and it will make you feel like something or someone in your life will diminish something you hold dear. It will eat you from inside. One thing I want to say is your hatred or anger is not something that you have to import into your life from outside. It is something that is inside you. And only you have the power to control it.

The social systems train you to create strong likes and dislikes about so many things. – sadhguru

When you think you are in love with someone, you exaggerate all the good qualities in them. When you hate someone , you exaggerate all the bad qualities in them or invent some. And always remember love and hate are related. The people whom you hate are usually those whom you once loved, but at some point, love turned into hatred. You cannot hate a random person on the street, unless you are bigoted based on religious beliefs, racial prejudices, or some such thing. But if you loved someone and they did something that you did not like, you can actively hate them. I am trying my best to not let the society make me believe what I should believe. And I know one day I will be able to listen to my inner voice and that day I will be truly true to myself.

But do you know what more dangerous is? It’s the self hatred that develops inside our body. Trust me we aren’t born with low self-esteem. Fear and self-loathing displace all other emotions and quench all desires except the desire to be someone else, anyone else because you hate being yourself. But I want to say one thing if you are going through that phase try to come back before it’s too late. It may not feel this way now but you really do have control of your future. No one has more influence on what your life will look like then you do. You do not have to go down this path. You can have a good life, you just have to decide you want it and deserve it. It is a hard thing to realize and accept, but once you do, the battle seems more manageable.

There is an illusion and that is one should be happy all the time, which creates self hated. In other words, if someone clings to the illusion that they should be happy all of the time, and they are not, they will condemn their self for not achieving this goal. The problem is that the goal, feeling happy all the time, is not achievable. Decide on something that you can do and that you will do. This is how to transform your life – by taking small steps. But you should actually do it. Someone made me realize that life is way too short So there is no time for frustration, depression, anxiety, anger or for any unpleasantness in this life. You need to celebrate and enjoy every moment of your life because life does not wait for you even for a moment. We do many things without thinking much, but after doing something we can’t undo that, for every action that you perform, there is a consequence. You cannot avoid the consequence. When you cannot avoid the consequence, action should be controlled. Actions can be controlled only if a human being is controlled within himself. And that needs practice. You will have to love yourself, nourish yourself. Then only you will have the privilege of having control over your own life.

At the end I would like to say, The past is dead and the future is far, try to live your present in a way that you never regret about your life.
