Reply #149: To make a difference you have to take chances

[Az]

But you must recognise that you are taking chances. When you seek to make a difference you are going to run into those that do not want change and those that want different change.

You are not going to be able to stop hatred. But what you can do is shine a light on it so that everyone can see it for the ugliness it represents. This usually sends it skuttling back under the rocks where it lives.


There is also the problem that some hatred comes from actually being mistreated by other's hatred. Its going to take more than soft words and promises to sooth their anger. And they are not likely to run from a bright light. They are responding to hypocracy and thus wish more light to be brought to bear on the subject to show the hypocracy.

There is no reconciliation for some. Fred Phelps and the homosexual community (or any reasonable community for that matter) will never be reconciled. Work on those that can be reconciled and bring them together as a force to send the malicious hater back to their holes. Have sympathy for those that have been abused by others and hate as a result. In this way you may be able to ease their feelings.
