I read this poem today and the words struck to the core of what it means to hate and love. May we always choose to be people of love rather than hate.
Hate has no world.
The people of hate must try
to possess the world of love,
for it is the only world;
it is Heaven and Earth..
But as lonely, eager hate
possesses it, it disappears;
it never did exist,
and hate must seek another
world that love has made.
-Wendell Berry in a Timbered Choir
