I can't believe I have to say this but here we go

Choose Love Over Hate

Hey everyone—I hope you’re having a beautiful day. I want to share something a bit different today: a reminder that you don’t have to carry hate in your heart. No matter how loud the world’s divisions grow—religion, politics, ethnicity—you can choose compassion instead.

I believe there are powerful forces in this world that thrive on our anger and fear. They want us divided, pointing fingers, wishing harm on people we’ve never met. But hatred never serves you. It only erodes your peace, fuels stress, and keeps you from experiencing the joy of genuine connection.

Think about it: hating an entire religion or culture is not just unfair—it’s self-sabotage. You could have shared countless moments of friendship, laughter, or quiet understanding with that person. Instead, you’ve let rumor or outrage decide your heart for you. Don’t be a pawn in someone else’s game.

Today, whether you’re grieving a global conflict or battling a personal struggle, remember: hatred is optional, but compassion is a choice you can make every day. You can still stand firmly against injustice or hard truth without letting bitterness consume you. You can pray, protest, or speak out—all from a place of empathy, not malice.

Please, don’t let the noise and fear dictate your actions. Lead with kindness. Extend a hand to someone different than you. Smile without expectation. Choose love—because in the end, it’s the only force powerful enough to heal divisions, uplift communities, and bring real peace to our world.

Love always,
