Hatred is a cancer that will eat its way through your soul if you let it. Sure some of us get thwarted in our being and then our survival instinct kicks into over arousal, but hatred and resentment are toxic poisons that can eat out the vessel of their hosts if we don’t get them under control and the overwiring of constant fear/flight/fight that is not down shifted someway, contributing to ongoing elevated cortisol levels will eat away at us from within.
Feeling our justified anger and rebellion or outrage over humiliation, damage or ongoing thwarting is essential but continuing to feed it only leads to destruction. There comes a point where acting it out over and over again only feeds and fuels it more. We need only feel it to the point that we use that charge for self empowerment, but to stay defended beyond the point where such defence is necessary only causes us damage as well as blocking the flow of life energy. If we remain trapped in a permanent victims stance we cannot take true action for freedom. If we remain only reactive we cannot be truly proactive. If we keep nurturing hatred and resentment what happens to love? There is a time to let hatred, anger and resentment go. I know its not good to be told this and we all need to find our own way. But something churns the gut when we are around those who wont let it go and continue to stay fuelled by the toxic poison of hatred. The things that happened to them happened a long time ago and yes they still leave a legacy or affect but how we respond to that rests upon an act of will and a choice of what seeds we really want to nurture.
