Hatred

Hatred

Hatred.
I would like to say I have none,
but I do.
I just work on not using it.
I cannot deny that I feel it.
but I can also admit it
that I work to not express it.
I feel it in waves,
especially when I am tired
frustrated,
or not feeling well.
I hear it from others,
when someone has gotten on their nerves,
and they just want to vent.
I feel it in the atmosphere,
even when people are trying
to be loving.
I see it in body posture
when words and actions
do not match.
 I taste it in people’s food
when they are cooking for someone
they do not like or
are having a time when
they do not want to cook.
I hear it in the way one speaks
even when they are trying
to be nice.
We so often try not to use
our hatred,
but sometimes it seethes out of us
because we have so much of it
or have not yet come up with
a way to not use it.
Today I am working on acknowledging
but not using my hatred.

Hatred Cannot Heal Hatred

September 5, 2015 Sharon Jacobson

Dear God,

I want to thank you for the reminder of the transformative power of love. I was so moved by this video and the story of those who radiated love out to those whose actions and beliefs had led to such a devastating effect on their lives and families. As I watched it, I was reminded of how my Bubby had taught me to pray for those who hurt me. That lesson first started when I was 13, at least that is when I first remember it. It was when I was gang raped by people I went to school with and had to sit in the same room as so I could finish my education. She had told me that I needed to pray for my own healing, but that I also needed to pray for forgiveness and healing for all those who had violated me.

She would always tell me that holding on to hate for them would only make me sick, angry, and bitter and that was not who you had created me to be. So she taught me to pray for them and for me until there was only love in my heart and I had forgiven them for what they had done. Maybe that is why I was at such piece decades later when one of them came to pay his condolences when I was home preparing for my father’s funeral. It was odd that he needed to come by after all those years to seek forgiveness. He somehow thought that he needed me to forgive him; the sad thing was that I had done that decades ago.
