HATE VS THE MASK - Chapter 1
As life continues to go on the world is in a repeat of the history from the past to now in the present. War after war is being fought. We wonder why nothing is being done about it while it continues to destroy us emotionally and physically. I’m not talking just the war between different countries and states but the war within common families, friends and our certain enemies. We continue to hate. Continue to think negative upon other people but do we take a minute or two to think why we hate or dislike this person? Are some reasons really worth it? Is it worth hating them over?
Hate is a powerful word but do we really understand the true meaning of the word hate? Is it just the negativity towards other people? No. It’s not just that it’s to a point where you don’t even want to think about this person or be around them it’s to a point where you are so angry with them that each time you see their face you want to beat them up or take them down maybe go yell at them a bit. Just completely ignore them not as a person but something that no longer exists.
So once again take a minute just to think back on all the times you said you hated someone or to now when you hate someone and ask yourself. Why? Is the purpose worth what it is doing? Are your friendships your relationships or you’re family really worth losing over it? Every day, something goes wrong everyday something negative happens it’s just the way life is. No one knows when or how it will exactly happen but it does. There is a time a place a moment a minute and hour or maybe a week it will go on for. For all we know it can go on for months to years this one emotion we use.
I would like to describe to you a few methods of hatred we are over exaggerating about.
Friendship: Ever find yourself ignoring your friend for doing something by accident or maybe using something of yours because they could not find theirs. Maybe borrowing something and forgetting to give it back or some other simple reason. Getting mad at them to the point we’re you both aren’t even talking or more than you both maybe a group of you stop talking. Do you ever wonder just why it has to be this way over something so simple? Well if you think about it’s really a waste of time. Why you ask? Well what does it obtain? What is it really doing for any of you but part you and cause guilt maybe sadness within the people whom do it? So next time you’re going to get bad a friend just think before you do. Is this situation worth fighting over?
Family: Alright so here is major one. Ever get this irritated feeling within you a feeling of annoyance and a lack of patients listening to your annoying mom or dad yell at you telling you what to do something over and over or telling you not to do this or that. Well really their there to look out for us they know what reality is like and I’ll let you know this. It isn’t easy and it’s never going to get easy. Money won’t always come from mommy and daddy eventually you will need a job, to buy your own house to pay bills to pay rent, hydro etc. Nothing just comes to you. Nothing shows up in a golden bag that says “Hello you just won a free life.” I want piercings I want tattoos I want this I want that well now in days the society has its own dress code if you dress this way or you’re hair is dyed that way. You’re body is covered in tattoo’s and piercings no company will trust you but maybe a clothing shop or a tattoo and piercing place. So don’t be getting down on your parents because they won’t let you do certain things they took care of you till now. Put yourself in their shoes.
Enemy of another friend: Okay so your buddy hates this new kid at school but he really doesn’t know the guy to well yet he wants to hate him or make fun of him because well he’s new and new kids get picked on right? Wrong. You are yourselves and you’re own person you do what you want not what some group leader or member tells you to do because if you keep following other people you will never truly be happy it will always be you hiding behind a mask.
Ah, now we get to the mask of hatred, some people in fact not just some but many people use this mask to hide mixed emotions within their hearts. They use it to hide an emotion that can be both physical and emotional and that emotion is pain. Yet pain isn’t the only thing that this person could be hiding it could be regret, sadness or even guilt. Heck it can be any emotion we want it to be that we are hiding. Maybe for attention or maybe for a darker reason that is unknown to us or possible fear of being as we are because of the common media.
I can understand because I wasn’t much different. I myself held up the mask in fear of being myself well because everyone already seen me as the dark type. I got called many names in high school that I didn’t want to be called. Yet comes the saying “everything happens for a reason” Which is true because well it brought me where I am today as it should bring you.... And my life has never been easy.
I am not trying to tell you how to run your life or how to be because if I was I would be a hypocrite. We are ourselves we do what we want and be how we wish to be. Yet we shouldn’t let others stop us being as we are because what is the point of being a lie or lying to yourself about who you are when you could be yourself .So you could be happy as yourself?
So once again I say.. Don’t let hate take over what is so precious to you... Don’t let it destroy those whom are close to you for keep what means to you close to you. Friends are like diamonds they are so beautiful so vibrant yet they are rare.
Time will go by when we will realize just how much friendship may mean to us in the future. Not just friendship but a talk with this person or a meeting of that person. For all you know they could be the very people that will come and help pick you up of your weak knees. When or if you end up with nothing, so take this to mind “The more friends we have in truth is better to have than the more friends we have in a lie for friends of truth never fade away yet a friend of a lie slowly dies away”
