The Flip Side of Love

Okay, now I understand the whole love thing, beautiful, peaceful, pleasant, keeps a person warm at night and it helps the world go round, a perfect world and especially one with a few battle scars in it.
What I don't get is the whole hate thing. I don't understand the whole hate a complete race, religion, culture, gender, career, etc. to the point of wanting to wipe them off the face of the earth. It doesn't make any sense to me. Are people that high on themselves they believe their presence here on earth is more important than someone elses and they are willing to harass, torture and murder to prove it? I shake my head because the theory just boggles my mind. And then they suck God in to prove their point. God created ALL of us, every single person, creature, and plant on this earth and then someone comes along saying "I'm more important than you and if you don't agree with me, I need to get rid of you." How stupid is that!!!
But it all boils down to the fear of change. Why are so many afraid of moving forward?? We don't seem to mind all the technological advancements but some can NOT handle change in society as a people. A lot were ecstatic the United States elected, Barrack Obama the first African American president. My reaction was I couldn't figure out why it hadn't happened sooner.
Or the whole gay marriage controversy. Again I don't understand the problem. If they're in love and want to make a commitment who are we to stop them. How does a couple who want to get married you don't even know affect your life? It doesn't. Just like what you do doesn't affect their lives.
I was shocked during the latest Survivor to hear all the racial comments coming from a certain castaway. I won't say his name because he's already quite full of himself and he doesn't need anymore attention. It was disturbing that he sounded so justified and self-righteous while showing off an equally extreme case of male chauvinism.
I'm not sure who I should be more outraged at ..... him, the rest of the castaways who sat back not saying anything or the show for giving him a soapbox to promote racism.
All hatred is a crime against innocent souls and it's been going on for thousands of years. It is 2010 and there are so many of the world's population who hasn't evolved past aggressive controlling behaviour. Hatred leaves permanent imprints on the earth. And then we all comment with curiosity how Mother Nature seems to be turning on us with hurricanes, tornadoes and other extreme elements. Maybe we need to see what's staring us in the face..... all the wars and killing through the centuries is destroying our planet (besides pollution), we are helping to destroy our home.
What's that song I hear playing.... oh yeah "all you need is love.....all you need is love......all you need is love, love.....love is all you need"
Words to live by.
