I dont hate anybody

I dont hate anyone.

I dont judge people 

I assess ideas.

there are things I like

there are things I dont like

there are things I fight for

there are things I let others fight for

I can defend.

I can dissect.

sometimes I can be fair ( I hope).

but, can I truly respect another belief that is the antithesis of what I believe?  Yes.

Can I not let it affect the way I feel or think? No. 

Evil has such pretty faces and feels so easy

the end result often ugly

the good so ugly and hard.

The end result often beautiful.

Crazy because the opposite is also true.

Great trick.

Fall for it often.

What I hate is ideas that are inconsiderate and the associated ideologies I don't like 

and the fact that people subscribe to them

and are happy not to look for another idea to test the first idea.

But who am I?

Who are you?

Under-Over-qualified it seems,

to shape the world in some meaningful way.

Fuck the system!

its not about the system,

its about you in relation to the rest of the unrest.

If youre not going to do something at least have an opinion on it.

Risk something to prove a point or disprove it.  

Discuss it with me, with them, so we can both grow and find new ideas.

Now isnt that an idea?

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hate is really such a strong word. You've really got to be scraping the barrel with bloody fingers to use it.

"...test the first idea..."

This is the best way to grow as an intellect, a thinking, successful doer. To not hate when hated is the test of character - to ignore ignorance and unproductivity. Weighing truths against greater truths. Guilty as charged. I feel like I been told - and have to adhere to these instructions because I listened. :D ~allets~
