If we could do this, what a much greater nation we would be. What a wonderful place America would be, if, perchance, we could just remove this one fault . . .
But, first you must have the desire to do something, or you will never do it. And, I see nary a person clamoring for the removal of this one fault. Second, you must believe you can do it, or it will never get done. And, who would seriously believe we could remove
Hatred.
Let me define it for you. It is when one set of people picks at another, finding fault. It is when we hear a rumor, and buy it too quickly. It is when we create that rumor, and when we pass it along. It is when we find evil in others. (Sometimes, that might be justified, but usually, it is not.) It is when we turn friends against each other.
He who is quick with his lips, and sharp with his tongue, and utters words to make one person think ill of another
Is perhaps America's greatest problem child. Of all the flaws we have, being a nation given to judging, and condemning, and hating is -- to me -- our greatest.
