The media stresses these horrible things because this hateful kind of news grabs people's attention more often than stories of love and kindness. A place where hatred shows up strongly is in family abuse. The mother may mistreat her children by making them work while she goes out and gambles or drinks. Fathers abuse children by going out and getting drunk, then coming home and beating them up. Husbands and wives abuse each other over sometimes simple things.
Abuse shows hatred in that it harms and hurts.
Hatred is more powerful than love. I wish more than anything that there would be peace, but until there is, I will deal with hate the best I can. Copyright 2001 Kids Philosophy Slam. May 12, 2001.
