Love or hate

Sun, Mar 26th 2017, 11:02 PM

Let me once again reiterate the fact that literally everything in life is a choice, nothing just happens. So having once again highlighted this indisputable fact, you my friend, as you awake each and every morning, have a very clear choice as to whether you choose to be in a loving or hateful frame of mind.
Firstly, you can choose to love or hate yourself. But D. Paul, I don't fully grasp what you're saying here. After all, how can anyone actually hate themselves you may query? Well that's an excellent question. However, unfortunately there are millions of people who because of very negative programming received during their young, formative years do not love themselves -- they actually hate themselves. Yes, these are the people with chronic low self-esteem, who talk very little, seem to have a permanent scowl on their face and proceed to get involved in nasty confrontations with everyone whom they interact with throughout the day, evening and night. Once these people get the professional counseling they need to raise their level of self-esteem, then they'll be in a loving mode once again.
Yes my friend, once you really know and understand how awesome you are in reality then, and only then, will you start to finally appreciate and love yourself. Once that feat has been successfully accomplished, you're on your way to forming loving relationships with others.
With high self-esteem having been restored, you then have a whole lot of choices to make each and every day. Do I love or hate my parents, my spouse or significant other, my work, my country, and, yes, even my enemies? I need to approach them with love in my heart so that they can become my friend once again. Yes indeed, love really is the answer to building a better world.
