Do not be seduced by hate, my friends. When you see mass shootings, acts of violence and terrorism, you are looking at the results of living in hate and in fear. Violence is just hate and fear given form. When we see it and then we join in, feeling fear and feeling hatred, wanting vengeance, beginning to believe the “us-vs.-them” lie, we only make the hate and fear and resulting violence grow bigger. Hatred and fear are the root of all the violence we are seeing. More hat

Here’s what I got during a deep meditation this past Sunday night. Violence, war, genocide, torture, all forms of cruelty and ugliness are the physical manifestations of pain. Pain creates fear (fear of more pain, fear of worse pain.) And fear creates hatred. Everything non-physical has a physical equivalent, including (especially) emotions. The physical forms of pain, hate and fear, are violence and cruelty. They are created by all of us whenever we express hatred or act
