Hate is so easily accessible by most. But the sorrow that resides right next to, or right underneath the hate, is the truly uncomfortable feeling of sorrow that we disguise under the louder emotion of hate. Sorrow is a large part of the human landscape. It just struck me how those two words are branches connected to one trunk - and yes, love and joy also. And probably most folks have as much challenge with those emotions also. It ain't easy being human!<BR/><BR/>this is a 3 - parter on "the dictionary", but I recognize the hardness of it - so to be somewhat merciful, I'll spread them out with something a bit lighter in between to cleanse the palate. <BR/><BR/>At least I'll try!<BR/><BR/>thanks for stopping by and swapping thoughts. Some say that I think too much. You can probably guess who said that!<BR/><BR/>much love and appreciation, <BR/>-el pel poquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835166474061862319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154924357171193938.post-21851218834983322892009-02-06T21:48:00.000-05:002009-02-06T21:48:00.000-05:00And the opposite of hatred and sorrow are love and...And the opposite of hatred and sorrow are love and joy.........Which I believe are stronger and hold a greater place in our hearts. <BR/><BR/>An image in my mind of hatred and sorrow are darkness and tears.....<BR/><BR/>An image of love and joy is the light of a loving family and the precious smile of a grandchild. <BR/><BR/>God give us all the strength to replace the bad images that can creep in, with those of love, joy, hope, beauty, truth and mercy......Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136645826014417854noreply@blogger.com
