La haine est un poison mortel

While everyone else was talking about this weekend’s Christmas party, I just laughed inside my heart. Who gives a shit about that boring party? Every year is the same, drinking free beer and spirit at a bar. I will not go not because of the company but people I do not want to see and hang out with.

I found a book given by a wonderful French family I met in Oslo a few years back; which kind of made me sad and elated at the same time. I wonder how they have been doing after all these years. The book titled “Le Miracle De Votre Esprit” by Dr. Joseph Murphy had actually accompanied me for many days in the past. I like the entry on page 116 which goes like: La haine est un poison mortel. Hatred is a fatal poison. Yeah, I agree with that completely but how many of us can really relinquish hatred, a natural habit, when we feel being judged with injustice or being cheated by our beloved ones? I find it very difficult to forgive someone although time might be the best cure in many cases. However, a problem is a problem, it will not disappear automatically albeit the oblivion of time. The ultimate solution is going back to where the problematic source lies in, digging out the rotten part and trimming it and smothering some ointment to cure the wound…

Question is how many of us are willing to solve a problem and let go of hatred? It really depends on each individual; and no one can force us to do that.
