With everything going on in the world and always hearing and seeing bad news everywhere, I can get a bit overwhelmed and emotional. It really makes me think why people feel the need to hurt other people. And not just anyone, but innocent people with families, friends, hopes and dreams.
Hate is a cancer.
It grows, it feeds on healthy tissue, and by and large will invade and take over.
Hate is a controller.
You can no more control hate within you, than you can control someone else’s hate.
Hate is hostile.
You cannot hate and be reasonable.
It’s frustrating how an event where people can be together and feel alive and free for a night can turn into a brutal and disturbing moment. These violent actions with relation to guns or any form of weapons should end.
I will not “pray” for Las Vegas.Instead I will take action. I will advocate for stricter gun laws, speak out against hatred and violence, treat everyone I meet with kindness and respect, and spread happiness and peace everywhere I go. I will keep the innocent individuals affected by this violence in my thoughts. I will honor those who have lost their lives by doing something to combat all of this hate. But I will not “just pray”.

First and foremost I want to express my deepest sympathies and condolences to those who were affected by last nights unfortunate event in Las Vegas. I have a few friends who have moved to Las Vegas and thankfully none were hurt. I pray that the families of the loved ones who were affected may find peace and comfort.
Hate is a drug.
Hate is so addictive nothing else matters.
We cannot see our addiction or acknowledge it.
We do not understand we have a problem nor that we are addicted.
Hate becomes more important to us than family or job or sanity or God.
From this moment,
let there be no hate
that traces our hearts like dark clouds
from this moment
let us seek rainbows of love
in each other.
Emotions are the strongest feelings that come to life through our highest highs and our lowest lows. The two most extreme emotions are love and hate. As history has feed us the narrative, “Love conquers all.” This statement has been highly publicized and debated. Some agree with the idea that with love you can do anything and overcome any obstacle. In my experience love is stronger than hate because it grows you to the place and person you want to be while hate only brings pain, sorrow and distress in the end.
There are some days
When I can only find sense and comfort
In the purity and love
Of children
Who know nothing of hate.
I don’t care what anyone’s religion is.
I don’t care if they are not religious.
I don’t care what colour anyone is.
I don’t care what their nationality is.
I don’t care what their sexuality is.
I don’t care if they have two heads and are called Noddy.
