Logish Paradox

The Essence of Hate and Compassion

Time and again, adversity has taught me to have compassion for another human being’s pain. Ignorance is the cause for all of the world’s problems. People live within their selective reality, seeing the world as how they want to see it. They dehumanise and disrespect fellow human beings and justify their fears by imposing selective reality on their victims.

At a time when my mind was purer, I would tell you to react to their actions with compassion. But my world has been and continues to be oppressed by these people. For which they oppressed, I cursed them to die. I hated them.

My mind had become unstable and I lost clarity in my thoughts. How can one be sane when his sense of self is clinging onto a thread, so close to death? Finally, I experienced the essence of hate and truly understood why people can be driven to hate and commit acts of violence.

When you crush a person’s hopes and dreams of creating their happiness in all entirety, it is as good as murdering this person. After all, when a person dies, he gives up his past, present and future.

You can be as certain as fucking hell, this person will fight for his life. Amidst the darkness, where he sees no light nor compassion, the person will turn to ignorance and paranoia. And this will sire hate. No one wants to hate. It is only out of desperation and desire to survive that he hates to motivate himself to live.

With the little clarity I’ve regained today, I’m relinquishing the hate I cling on to. Hate has a price. You poison your soul with perpetual pain by clinging on to hate. And by clinging on to hate, I’m as guilty for ignorance as the people who victimised me.

I now sincerely believe that compassion can bring about change and peace. Compassion allows us to see the human inside everyone, even within the monsters who are ignorant. It reminds us that even the worst human being has some good within them. And compassion has always been associated with the divine. I mean, do you attest that compassion, towards someone who intends to murder your existence, is an easy thing to do?
