Hate Is A Disease

[damnedifIknow]

Hate is a disease you catch from others who are already infected. It is contagious, virulent, and can be fatal unless the infection is caught in time."


Here is a list of symptoms:

Obsession with an person, event, or idea, to the extent that you cannot let go of it even when you try. Usually accompanied by a desire for revenge, “justice”, or for something you want from the person (or powers-that-be),.
The conviction that you are completely right and justified, and that the other party is absolutely wrong. Your attitude becomes self-righteous in the extreme.
You seek out other people who will agree with you and support the energy with which you have been infected; a lack of tolerance for anyone who disagrees with you. In fact, this disease almost compels you to infect others, even if you sometimes feel guilty for doing so. (Usually, however, the infection prevents you from feeling guilt simultaneously with the hatred.)
Usually accompanied by frequent,trong rushes of anger and/or rage, either topically initiated or from random stimuli.


Some experts believe that the antidote to hate is love; but infected individuals who have recovered state that smaller doses of subtler antidotes may work much better. “Love” is often too difficult to administer in sufficient dosages to a person infected by hate; an infected person often seems unable to digest even small doses of love when administered."

3. That's why I

do my best not to hate.

I'm successful more often than not.

It's also why I'm appalled at the practice of calling those who express disagreement "haters."

Maybe politics is the disease.
