Hate Speech I hate that I can feel the wrongness of two political sides being fed constant streams of half truths—never whole truths, incited against each other, for gain of political agendas they will never even see. I hate it even more that even when I look at both half sides of the same truth I still can’t find a whole one. I hate living alone, excluded from contact with the outside world. I hate it even more I do it by choice. I hate that I feel the utter intolerance of the world in the persecution of Christians, seen as perpetuating this conduct via the prejudices and intolerances of their own, yet knowing at some point they at least attempted to better themselves, and humanity, (whether asked for or not), in the process. I hate it even more that my lack of conviction prevents me from sharing their persecution. I hate that sins of the father are never absolved. I hate it even more that the more you give the effort, the more you need to. There is a horde forming, mob-rule marauders of justice. I hate having complete understanding of the hunted becoming hunter mentality of this horde, even as, by gender, skin color and sexual orientation alone I become their foremost target. I hate it even more that I, probably one of the very few who do see them for who they truly are, as well as seeing the reasons behind it, believe that even wished out of existence I could never sate them. I hate that I so clearly see the bubbles we all place ourselves in, and how sometimes when two come together they grow into one bigger bubble, but all too often when they come together how one or both of them just pop and fail to continue existing. I hate it more that I never had a bubble to begin with. I hate that I have to question so steadily and so resolutely why it is I hate what I hate. I hate it even more that I already know.

I hate that you don't see that the title is a misnomer, and that it should be: Honesty, Love of Humanity, What is Right and Bravely Standing Up Alone for Them All  |

I love that you see this, Owl... Experience has taught me it's hard to stand up, or keep getting back up if no one understands what you are standing for to begin with. Money is indeed the root of most evils, Paul. it becomes easier to see how we are being misdirected, once we understanding whose pockets we're lining in the process. |
