Hate is a waste of time
Apr. 19th, 2024 05:59 pmToday while at work (I work at a drug and alcohol rehab as a housekeeper) I was talking with some of the patients as I cleaned in the kitchen and we talked about hate. Somehow the subject got started and we all mentioned how it takes a-lot to truly hate someone. How it takes so much energy out of us. It isn't worth it. And the one woman just simply said "Hate is a waste of time." And I felt that. Deeply. Over the years I've had some people wrong me and I've wronged others and I know these things may happen again. But why not live in a world where we forgive more often? To hold a grudge and just think negatively about someone feels so harmful to our own mental health.
I don't have a ton of time to write, but I at least wanted to share this one because it felt important.
