Hate has more to do with us than with them

Overheard this line as I walked through the kitchen, which was coming from the tail end of a program on NPR. Unfortunately I can't tell you the name of the program, because I just caught the very last line:

Hate has more to do with you than with them.

And it kept running through my mind today as I walked through the woods.

Hate has more to do with us than with them…

Yeah. Exactly. That's the whole point here.

Admitting your ego casts a shadow so you can start to deal with its consequences.

Beginning to realize that the real enemies lie within.

 

The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts.

That is where the battle should be fought.

–Mahatma Gandhi
