9. "But you also sound hateful, and that will solve nothing."
On the contrary, I think that expressing ones' hate in an open forum such as this is one of the most functional things a conscious and self aware person can do at this time.
To face ones own true feelings no matter how contemptible they may appear to us is to me an act of courage.
To be able to look into the abbyss and to unflinchingly acknowledge ones love as well as hatred for humanity takes an exceptional human being.
The value of this world exists not only the flowers and the green of our world but also in its entirety ththat which lives beneath the rock and rotted log.
Pious leaders exist on the left and the right and the wrong. Owning rightiousness, even promoting it all the while hiding away our baser humanity.
Perhaps we all need to learn how to get in touch with our baser selves and instincts, if you will.
To acknowledge them is one of the surest ways of avoiding acting on them, if that is our true desire.
Oh, how I wish that our own George Dubya had even a smitten of this awareness.
We could all learn a bit more about learning not to fear that which we truly are.
