The way Manuel felt that particular day was not one he was impressed in at all. Hatred masquerades as an ointment to hurt when in truth it is no more than gasoline for the flames. More hatred only guarantees more enmity, more pain, more death ahead, never more healing or an increase in our humanity. It can be passed like a dark flame from one generation to the next, burning cold, waiting for the next opportunity for genocide and war. While conditions aren't right it bides its time in the shadows as racism and slander, feelings of superiority and echoes of tribalism. Once the opportunity arises - an economic downturn, hunger or natural disaster it comes in fast to override our better natures, making us more primal ape than human. Hatred, the twin of wrath, is never our friend. Hatred makes us all weaker, a poison transmitted via ill-thought out words.Hatred is such an abomination, a subversion of what should be good. I never see strong hatred except where love is betrayed or destroyed
He and Doris spoke, she tells him never to speak to her again. He reports her to Evelyn, she apologized.Dave knew Evelyn needed him for a reason. He was rich, and now he was a member of one of the most important group in Ettavile. She needed him! So as she apologized for everything that he had faced, he rested comfortably on the chair. Smiling to himself, he was relaxed. But he said nothing. He enjoyed the look on the woman's face and was contented enough because he knew he had gotten all he needed from her. Now it was just time for him to seat and relax. When we become great teachers of emotional intelligence we will delete the alt-right. When we explain how their new linguistics is acting as an catalyst for emotional indifference - the biological opposite of love - people will start to question how these subcultures are recoding and reprogramming their brains into isolated emotional spaces where they cannot access the love they need for good health. "Wrongthink" is made of "wron
Never before had Nathan noticed how time is so much like water; that it can pass slowly, a drop at a time, even freeze, or rush by in a blink. The clock says it is measured and constant, tick tock, part of an orderly world; the clock lies. The past three days had passed like thousands of camera frames per second shown one at a time. In this slow time-bubble the birdsong was louder, coldness was colder and colours were brighter. All the while his insides felt as if there was nothing there, nothing to need feeding, nothing to have need of anything at all. I told you I love you and that makes me unlovable. I said that I care and that makes me the target of your hatred. I brought you gifts, poured affection into your life and you attacked me over and over. You leave me with insides contracting, cold. You leave me with a heart that explodes in my chest, clammy skin and hyperventilating as I lean on a wall. I would still be your friend if you would extend your hand, but I know that you won'
Finally, he was at Fernando's apartment already, and he couldn't help but admire the entire setting. What was supposed to be his, was all Fernando's now. Birds trill, sweetly high, the chorus as playful as the birds themselves. With closed eyes, one could imagine their music to be colours, painting stairs in the same way grapevines grow - this way and that, in a beautiful chaos that isn't quite random. In the calm of the day, his heartbeat was the steady drum to their melody and he seep into the moment, allowing himself to climb those rainbow stairs. He can feel the fear in his chest waiting to take over. Perhaps it only wants to protect him but there really isn't any danger. It sits there like an angry ball propelling him towards an anxiety he just don't need. He switch the radio off and get out of the car. The air is sweet, the weather is fine, there are birds in the sky and he can hear water not far away. He should be on his way to work he know, but today he just want to smell th
Evelyn met with Regina that day. Not for anything else besides their main discussion. She had purposely visited Regina and had the meeting scheduled at her house. She loved being a wedding guest. It's as if rockets have been lit beneath the soul. There is such love right out in the open. Everyone feels free to let their happy flags fly. Cynics are silent at last. Birdsong becomes the music of the quiet reflections. Souls are united. To have an invitation to such an event is a blessing indeed.She saw the woman from afar, shivering in fear. Fear of what though? Well perhaps it was because the head of the Queens was right at her house! She gave a satisfying grin at the moment and continued with her discussion. "Well, so you see why it is important for us to meet up?" She said, a satisfying smile working its way over to her cheeks. Her face had been plastered with bright heavy makeup. Again. Just on purpose. She ignored Regina's shivering and continued. "So we can discuss the wedding
Doris was angry.There was a scream from deep within that forces its way from her mouth, as if her terrified soul had unleashed a demon. Her mother never made her own wedding half as special as she did with Owen now, and it was not only just upsetting, but rather embarrassing. She loved Nathan but they just never acknowledged her feelings one bit. But Owen was free to chose his own partner that easily? How dare she! All she feel ever since she heard the news was nothing but anger, and all she felt was that she didn't want to be friends with anyone at all because then she don't have to trust anyone, it'll be safer, easier to choose not to stay her mother was such a bad influence on her. And she knew she was hiding the truth from herself, of how much it really was to do with sadness and the scars that just wouldn't heal. Yet these fists clench and her teeth locked up once the sound was out. She was just going to have to walk away for a while, see this "elephant" from a few miles away,
Nathan tried to calm his wife down. He realized that she had been truly angered by Evelyn's sudden behavior for wanting to create a grand wedding for Owen and not her. It was truly devastating and he couldn't deny that. "Doris?" He called out to her, knocking gently on the door. His voice remained as warm as early spring, as if her heart beat so steadily even though she took a different view from him. She simply said this was her way of doing things. He could see her balk at first, so accustomed he was the to ways of Doris and her fiery temper. He was different, because he absorbed things and then responded more than reacted, dampened situations rather than adding to the flames. And so before he knew it everything was happy again, it was love all around instead of the bickering he was so accustomed to. It was a sense of calm he grew to love.And he would be teaching it to his wife now. "This path of life is challenge enough," he began to say. Nathan remembered a little of what his m
