If you just hate the people who start wars, you’re ultimately no better than they are.
The cultural reality is that political conservatives are more likely to advocate going to war — especially during a Republican administration — and progressive leftists are more likely to express strong hatred for warmongers — if they happen to be Republicans.
And those two sides hate each other. The “pro-war” people and the “pro-peace” people both tend to be full of hate. There‘s something fundamentally wrong with that.
I detest Donald Trump. I had a strong disregard and disrespect for the man long before it was ever suggested that he run for president. He is a loathsome and dysfunctional liar and narcissist. His ego and his lack of political skills might be leading us into a war right now — a war which I don’t want.
But I do not hate Trump. I don’t hate the Iranian crowds who are chanting, “Death to America!”
Even if I detest the actions of people on both sides, I am making the difficult choice to love them — because hatred is what puts us where we are right now.
