Love and Hate

I have come to the realization that love is infinite, and hate is not.

Hate, being a negative emotion and energy, must be generated from some source within the person or thing radiating the hate. Love, on the other hand, is everywhere. It is a positive emotion and energy, and has no bounds.

I say it has no bounds because if we look at this logically rather than theologically, there are couples who stay together forever. My grandparents on my mother's side, for example. They married right out of high school and were married until my grandfather died. Grandma is not looking to date anybody else, because her love for him is still present and very strong. She continues to generate it. When a person dies, usually the hate a person is generating will slope off and eventually die as the hater goes through life having no more contact with the person who died.

Also, if you strip away the emotional aspects of those two words, and even the words themselves, what are you left with? Positive and negative. In my experience, positive energy is very easily pulled from your surroundings for anything you need it for - be it keeping you awake, magickal workings, healing, or any number of other reasons. Negative energy, however, is very hard to come by, and even if you find a large deposit of it somewhere you won't be able to pull it from said deposit easily. It just will not budge without a LOT of persuasion. (I know, I tried.)

Why is that, do you think? The only logical conclusion I can draw is that there is an abundance of positive energy and a shortage of negative energy in our natural environment. (yes, we are a part of that.) If there were no hate, there would be peace... because that is the natural state of the world. Peace is also attributed as a positive thing. Nobody and nothing likes holding on to negative energies - it breaks down whatever it touches, leaving the container it was in with smoldering holes in the mind and body. in nature, sufficient amounts of negative energy can kill plants. (granted this is a HUGE amount we're talking about here, but it's true.) that same amount of positive energy will act like miracle grow to the same plant.

emotions = energy created from the heart itself. The mind can start, stop, stimulate or depress the creation of said emotion, but it is created at the heart. If we are part of our environment, then we'd react the same way to positive and negative energies. Nobody is angry all the time - our natural state is a state of peace. Look at relationships - a relationship filled with hate, even if only on one side of the equation, is doomed to fail. A relationship filled with love will last lifetimes. And I'm not talking just about romantic love - even the love we have for our friends, our family, and our acquaintances. There is always something in everybody to admire or cherish. NOBODY is completely worthless or a waste of space. So why hate on one another? Why say those mean, negative things? Try loving on them instead and see what happens. I'm almost willing to bet that you'll receive love in return.

Blessed Be,
