Simply, there’s too much hate in the world. Lots of it is promoted for self-serving reasons. The US is not excluded from the shameful act. Social media thrives on spreading hate, vitriol, conspiracy theories and propaganda! One day we’ll realize this!

Agreed. It sounds like a platitude but we simply must teach children worldwide that they cannot hate.

I once read that “hate destroys the vessel that carries it!”

Oh, Jonathan, I don't know about that! I think "hate" can be quite useful if carefully cultivated and targeted appropriately.

FOR INSTANCE:

I HATE those who use the (non-)word "irregardless" or who use "impact" as a verb! Instant death penalty! No trial necessary! It should be "open season" on them, 24/7!

OR, those who drive down the Interstate in the "hammer" lane 5 mph UNDER the posted limit while chatting away on their "smart" phones or playing some stupid game while staring down at their steering wheel where they have rested their hands which are HOLDING said phones!

OR cutting the federal funding for those (IRS) who are ACTUALLY collecting the money needed for their paychecks and cutting the funding of the entity (DC Metro) enabling the twits to commute to work every day! Duh!

"Hate" can be VERY useful!

Well, then, I hate soccer moms on their cell phones in minivan-loads of unbundled children, driving around hunting down motorcyclists at intersections and trying to kill said riders....
