If I were Ms. Manners, I would offer this advice: Always hate not a=20

ideas=20

the brotherhood be established?

Einar here:
Why hate at all?=20
Jesus had a teaching of love that I think we should take a little more =
seriously as a psychological advise. He said: "Love thy enemy", which =
might seem impossible (it isn't), but if we start with "don't hate your =
enemy" it may make a sense to us.=20

Who is my enemy, and where is my enemy? My enemy is one that I have made =
so in my psyche, true? He/she/it is only in my head, and being my =
creation, it should be in my power to unmake, just as to create.=20

My enemy can be a person, an idea (sin), or something belonging to =
myself, my sins, my fear, my thoughts or emotions. In fact it is a =
disharmony in MY psyche that is completely unnecessary, and usually has =
nothing to do with the "object" of my hate. In most cases the "object" =
does not know or understand my feelings at all. So why hate? You can =
just eliminate your enemy - how about that!

Reconciliation is a psychological wizardry that is of enormous =
importance if we want to do some psychological Christmas-cleaning in our =
psyche for a change.

Don't hate - (make it a) Love!

Love and care.

Einar from Iceland.
