"Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." --Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hi, we're Cathy and Fred. Today I wanted to share with you a poem of mine, that I wrote, it's called "Fight Hate With Love". And it's based on the same idea that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s quote was probably based on. And it's an idea that: when someone hates us, we should try not to hate them back. We should try our best to love the people being oppressed, and to educate the people doing the oppression.

Fight Hate With Love
(April 12, 2021)
by Frederick Stadler

You can fight hate with love
You can bring song to an empty room
You can call upon faith from above
You can remind them how flowers do bloom

You can fight hate with love
If you bring yourself caring within
Anger and fear make push come to shove
Take a step back and remember how to win

You can fight hate with love.

The term "make push come to shove" is an old saying meaning "escalating violence", (a shove is rougher than a push)... Thanks for watching! May you have a blessed day.

Please note:
There are an estimated 10 quintillion insects living on the planet Earth.
There are an estimated 130 billion mammals living on the planet Earth.
There are 8 billion humans living on the planet Earth.

Your odds of being born a human rather than an insect are 1 in 1,250,000,000.
Your odds of being born a human rather than another mammal are 1 in 15.
Maybe it is not by random chance that you are human?
Maybe things are destined to be?

Let there be peace. ☮

Why didn't they all assume good faith of me? They should have assumed good faith.
