Earth Hater Heart

I've come to you today to preach the gospel of hate. Hate gets a very bad rap, doesn't it? It's about the one thing everyone can agree on, that hate is bad. Bad, bad, bad, so very bad indeed. Not like love, noooo. Love good! Hate, BAD!!!

Is hate a bad thing? So much of today's hatred is fueled by ignorance and pre-conception and clinging to old ways and beliefs, that it certainly seems unarguable that hate is bad. Racism, homophobia, sexism. Ignorant hate is terrible.

But not because it is hate. Because it is ignorant. Hate itself is a powerful motivator for change and it always has been, and presumably always will be.

We created medicines because we hate being sick.

We created vehicles because we hate walking everywhere.

We created society because we hate being alone.

Love? Love doesn't change a thing. Love accepts everything, just the way it is. If love had its way we would still be protoplasm floating without meaning in the primoridal soup. It's because of hate that change exists.

I don't know any of you, but I hate you all. And it's wonderful.
