Love Is Mightier Than Hatred

Sometimes it happens that you encounter a thing which has a long and sometimes a perpetual effect on your mind. Few days ago, I watched a hollywood movie "Fault In Our Stars" which had left me in awe and after watching the movie I am constantly dealing with a very different emotion. The constantly nagging thoughts which are tuning in my head since then have pushed me to write down my feelings I have gone through.

There are many things so connected that I am afraid of leaving even a single nut-bolt of this machinery which is called emotion. There is a four letter small word 'HATE' and another four letter small word 'LOVE'. Needless to say that 'Love' though stands in equal footing with 'Hate' in terms of letters they contain, but the word 'Love' is magnificent than 'Hate'.

In this world every matter consists of three things. There is one aspect 'Thesis', another 'Anti-thesis' both of which are incomplete in themselves. But wait, there is also 'Synthesis' which is the pure form containing the qualities of both thesis and anti-thesis. There is 'Love' - a thesis and 'Hate' - anti-thesis and 'Emotions' - the synthesis.

The Love-Hate duo is significant. We hate somebody because we can't love them and we love somebody because we can't hate them. We practice both emotions but with the difference in the degree. But what I sincerely believe, life is too short to hate anyone. Well, on contrary one cannot love everyone because no one is God here. For instance, we can't love the murderers, the terrorists, the brutal criminals and people in alike categories. But as the matter of fact these people who deserve so much of our hatred are born out of hatred. Their hatred for mankind, for this one beautiful life and for this colourful world, has landed them in this situation.

If you love mankind, your life and this lovely, cheerful world then you can't love these species. This proves that if you sow hatred then you have to reap hatred. There is no other way round. But hating thing won't let you stay in peace. "I hate you because you hurt me", "I hate you because you are change" and other tantrums, God!

Suppose, you are on a bed in the hospital due to a serious medical ailment, and you realised that you're going to die. Suddenly you have a feeling to be surrounded by every person you have met in your life so that you can thank them or say sorry to them. So, on the bed, lying and counting on every breathe of yours, you are regretting for hurting people by your words and conduct. Now, you're wishing for one more life to make up all what you have messed up before in this very life. Don't tell me, this will be the most terrible feeling you have ever encountered.

So, why to be in so much pain on your last time. Say sorry immediately when you realise your fault and say thank you likewise when someone have put so much effort to make you feel good, to make you smile, to make you love this life.

There is 78% of Nitrogen and 21% of Oxygen in the air with other gases in smaller composition. But what help us to breathe is the Oxygen. 'Hatred' is Nitrogen and 'Love' is Oxygen. With this Oxygen you can live 'a larger than life' kind of moments. Don't go with my definition of 'Love'. Create your own definition of 'Love' because 'Love' empowers you, strengthens you from within.
