The Power of the Individual's Choice

I've got some thoughts ruminating about this...I think they're good thoughts. More to come soon. In the meantime be thinking about how you can choose to make this day better for yourself or someone around you :)

I hate you because I cannot hate you

I hate you for all you’re not

And for all you pretend to be.

I hate that your yes means no

And your word is empty.

I hate your rage and childish bullying

I hate your lies, your hateful tongue,

Your words of pure destruction.

But mostly

I hate you because I cannot hate you.

I hate your two-faced, double standards

Your blatant hypocrisy

Your propensity to be right even when you’re wrong.

I hate your “I love you”s, your generous gifts

And all your symbols of proclaimed affection.

I hate that I believe you whether it’s true or not.

But mostly

I hate you because I cannot hate you.

I hate how much I look like you

And talk like you

And think like you.

I hate how much I can relate to you

And I hate that you can’t see it.

I hate how you think I’m someone I’m not.

But mostly

I hate you because I cannot hate you.

I hate that you’re the source of most of my tears

Yet also the reason I’m afraid to cry

I hate that you taught me pain is weakness

Yet have inflicted more than anyone I’ve personally known.

I hate you for every broken dream,

Wounded emotion,

And damaged perspective.

But mostly

I hate you because I cannot hate you.



Matthew 5:43-48
