In honor of human rights day and the amazing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I would like to share the following quote and amazing words to live by, from a man who knew only love, regardless of the hate he was shown:
“I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
This life is about love. Hate wastes the limited time we've been given. Hate destroys all that we claim to be. I choose not to waste any more time on hate; it does no good... to me, or to anyone else. Hate is binding. Hate binds you to the person you direct it towards. We would all do better to let go of the hate that keeps us bound to the person we feel it towards. Love is liberating. Love allows you to let go of the pain, the unjustice, the needless hurt, and the wrong that was done towards you. Liberate yourself; choose to love instead of to hate.
