Love, Hate & Circumstances

[Guest guest]

Humans believe they love or hate others,

but there are neither self nor others, just

circumstances. It is the whole situation

which evokes either passion. Change the

circumstances and the passion will change

from love to hate, or vise-versa.

 

Society punishes bodies to eradicate thoughts,

but killing or incarcerating a body, doesn't

change thoughts. Society punishes violent offenders,

while it not only advertises but promotes violence

via entertainment. It's the cultural circumstances

which must be eradicated, if violence is to stop.

 

There is no " I, " there are no " others " only situations

and circumstances inspiring, provoking, always

swinging the emotional pendulum from hate to love.
