A Helpful Guide to Loving Those Who Hate You
-
“Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?” ~Abraham Lincoln
I don’t think there’s a single adult person alive who has never confronted a hateful person, or who at some point in his or her life hasn’t been hateful toward others.
Hatred, as we all recognize, can be harmful both to ourselves and others. But most of us don’t know how to deal with hatred, especially when it is directed toward us.
Here you will find a helpful, practical guide on how to deal with those who hate you, not by being hateful back to them, but by developing a loving attitude towards them, because, as Martin Luther King, Jr recognized:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
