Mel’s Mindful Moments S1-E30 transcript:

Is hate a necessary emotion?

Hate is a human emotion that most everyone has felt at one time or another.

Of course it comes in varying intensities and is brought on by various causes.

Hate is defined as an intense or passionate dislike for someone.

Hatred left unchecked can become dangerous for both the target as well as the perpetrator. In fact, actually more harm will come to the one doing the hating.

Hate is infused with such a negative energy and it’s effects will act like a poison to body and is very vexing to the soul.

The longer it is allowed to fester, the greater the harm.

Oh sure we can convince ourselves that our hatred is justified.

… and even become Bold about it!

But even so, this will not nullify the effects that it causes in our emotional state of mind.

It’s poison will still have the same consequences nonetheless.

The only way to rid ourselves from the effects of hatred’s poison, is to forgive.

However forgiveness is not easy to accomplish, when hatred is boiling inside of us. But just like that bad tasting medicine, that we know that if we take it, we’ll get better, ...

… It is the same with forgiveness.

The sooner you can bring yourself to forgive, the sooner you will heal yourself from the effects of hatred.

So for your sake,

… find a way to forgive!
