Always Love

Well, this is my first post on here, so I'm not exactly sure how this works..but it's all good!

Always love.  Hate will get you every time.  

These simple lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time hit me hard.  Real hard.  I'm not the kind of person that you would say always acts so loving and always has a smile on her face.  I mean I'm not someone who glares everyone down or anything..but lately I've been trying to live by this!  I honestly don't think I've ever truly hated anyone.  Not saying that I've never not really liked someone.  That's definitely not true!  Me and my sister were having a conversation about this topic one time.  Think of this scenario: if you were driving along a ridiculously long desert road, and you see _____(insert name of someone you so-called "hate" into the blank) stranded with no food, no water, no means of transportation to get out of there, if you look at them and just say, "Sorry!  I have 3 empty seats in the back of my car, but I don't really want to give you a ride into town, even though you're probably going to die if I don't help you out.", you just might hate them.  I'm pretty sure i wouldn't be able to put anyone that I know into that blank, and be able to leave them stranded.  If you would, I guess you hate them!  Good for you!   Hating someone, or truly despising them takes up a lot of energy and time!  What good is it doing for anyone??  Having feelings like that towards someone only makes you unhappy.  WHY would you want to be anything BUT happy??  Everyone has their ups and downs in this life, but i think we can all agree that it's more fun and worthwhile to be happy.  You don't have to be every one's best friend and you don't have to be obsessed with every person you meet, but don't waste precious time hating!  It's not worth it.  So how bout we all try to make this world a better place, and always love.  Hate will get you every time!
