It is quite often said, that something is "easier said than done",
but it could also be said, that something can be "said easier when done".
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
The one who has had the greatest experience with evil, understands on a tremendous level the often unacknowledged within most others. Should they come out of the deepest of darkness, they will be gifted with a torch to reignite their once-lost, inner-flame. This light will serve greatly to guide another out of their dark abyss should that other make the choice to follow this guiding lantern for a time.
Man's war against nature is not only foolish, but pointless, for nature has already surrendered unto itself; if man were to have done the same ages ago, they would've sooner realized that they were only fighting their own nature.
A lie may be easier to tell, but over time it will become impossible to maintain.
A truth may be harder to tell, however it will also consistently uphold itself.

Agreed.
I have done my best to simplify the whole thing for myself.
To me, the only thing one should ever hate is Hate itself, for Love does no harm, it can only hope, help, and heal.
love Love
hate Hate
Not exactly what I have meant, as sometimes a positive can ironically be a negative, as part of this talks about toxic positivity, and how you need to hate some things like war in order to actually love.

Precisely! That's what I meant as well; just in a different way of saying it.

It's all part of the learning curve.
Consider me working on being down-to-earth.
One needs to realize that they are a person just as much as the people they care about. If you don't take care of yourself too, eventually your well is going to run dry; then you won't be able to help anyone in your state. So why attain the unpleasant disposition from a depleted resource instead of just caring about yourself from the get-go?
When you bring your inside outside for the first time, it's going to be quite unknown to you. You may deal with things such as an increase in sensitivity that could lead to sensory overload, and even shutdown if you are not careful, so don't go gung-ho unless you can manage to do so with ease. Take your time with it, for a seed does not immediately blossom into the flower, nor does a caterpillar immediately change into the butterfly. Nobody is rushing you; most are too busy dealing with their own issues to notice honestly. And those who would put you down for your own change for the better are simply afraid of things they do not understand. Do not let them project their fear onto you; you've hidden yourself away long enough.
I've given all the good I can give, now there's nothing left but the evil.
Art, to me, is expression of the demon in angelic form.
I am learning how to love the demon in me,
for a yearning now to covet my self sin-free.
It is easier for people to unite under hate compared to love because hate is something they already understand; true love is unknown to them and because of that, will appear as something to fear instead of embrace.
The only thing one should ever truly hate is Hate itself, so love yourself, love your friends & family, and even give some love to the strangers around you if you can. You smiling and waving "hello" to that one random person could've been just the very thing they needed to get through the day, and that very same person could be the one that changes the world for the better. Every small thing leads to the big thing. The most important thing in all of this, when all hope feels lost, retain your humanity regardless. Hate divides, but Love multiplies.
One can at times find themselves in an unpleasant disposition, it is best to seek out pleasantries during such a time. One should not give in to impulse, but rather simply practice self-care.
