“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that”-Martin Luther King Jr.

Hate is hate no matter how you dress it up; the same hate that people feel towards Donald Trump is the same hate that he exudes towards others. This is what some don’t understand, we need to eliminate hate within ourselves in order to evolve. It doesn’t matter what someone else says or does, we have little to no control over any one but ourselves. If you must make a change it has to be in you, no one else. Once you see how difficult it is to replace feelings of hate with love and compassion you may then realize why some people behave the way they do. I challenge you, try changing an aspect of you that is negative, it is not that easy.

We must take responsibility over ourselves and stop pointing the finger all the time. It all starts at home, once we can positively impact our own surroundings, it will create a ripple effect, and your positive reach will spread just as easily as love. Start with you.
