The Power of Hate

Send us Fan MailOne of the most tumultuous, dangerous and cancerous words today is "Hate." The word has a damaging kind of radius that can destroy the life of one, a few or many. Sure, many of us use it on a regular basis but it is not meant in harmful nature. For instance, you will often hear someone say, "Man, I hated that game winning shot on last night because it cost me money, or, I hate you man because you are a clown." These are the kinds of statements you say around your friends that don't really mean much. However, when the word hate is used in a serious and more demeaning nature, it can truly become dangerous for others. For example, I recently overheard several young gentlemen having a conversation about a particular individual. One young man said, "If I see him right now I would bust him in has face and beat the hell out of him repeatedly!" I was like wow! That's very threatening language and it absolutely sounded like bad intentions. I mean, think about it, if you hear someone discuss another person or persons in a very violent nature, that should tell you that he or she means business and there may perhaps be a hit of hatred form that person toward the other person. Whether you know the individual or not, you may need to further assess the situation and safely take action to ensure that it is not a matter that will happen where you are located.At the end of the day, I believe we need to do everything in our power to remove the word from our daily language. I know we use the word hate in a more humorous nature almost all the time but there is a time when the word is meant to harm another. Maybe the person's race or the color of their skin creates the hate in someone unknowingly. Think about the days of Slavery for Blacks or The Holocaust for Jews. Those are serious examples of hate, so for me, I despise the word and I work daily to never use it and so should you!Support the showThanks for watching and listening to the following social media platforms every Tuesday at 12pm PST:YouTube Channel: @GregMact5vApple Podcasts (including Overcast, Castro, Cast Box, Goodpods, True Fans)SpotifyPodcast IndexiHeartRadioPodcast AddictPodchaserDeezerPlayer FMFacebookLinkedInX
