Dr. Hate

 

We feel many different things in a day. Sudden joy when an old friend connects. Sudden embarrassment when something we did failed. Defeat when a struggle doesn't work out the way we hoped. Hunger when we haven't had enough to eat. Fear when we meet someone who doesn't like us. Emptiness when we've lost sight of our dreams and ambitions, believing we are useless. Hate when a group of people or interests want to silence us, make us the enemy. Hate instilled in children against others who we believe are different from us. Cultivated hate when a group of people attempt to gain power by preaching the problem of others identified, for our benefit, as the enemy.

Deeper feelings like solidarity to a group who have gone to great lengths and expenses to explain and gaslight those who they feel sure are to blame, connecting links and dots to create the "final solution". These feelings drive an individual to a state of powerlessness or false saviour.

We can recover different feelings but when we are surrounded by the fog of hate and disempowered by the enormity of the manufacture problem, we are, in our own minds and hearts, homeless.

The Trumps and Hitlers of our world also suffered. Caged in by stories of warriors and gods, saviours and witches, barbarians and saints.

Hate requires  a complex pecking order. The sorry souls at the bottom and the ruling conqueror at the top - king, president, emperor or CEO.

The greatest threat to our survival is not the endgame, it is the beliefs that sow fear, that make us feel so small we are nothing. People who have suffered terrible trauma become something other, twisting and racking themselves to find relief, to fill themselves up with the right drug to take away the pain.

Dr. Hate is not a person who has learned how to control the masses, it is a cloud that infects who we are, how we see ourselves and destroys civil society. 

We must learn to see ourselves as who we actually are, not what vanity has whipped us up to be. We are worthy of love and nourishment, a society that heals and comforts the isolated ego. We need to install love and respect into the economy.
