When you discover that they hate you, and you will, don’t let it get you down.

As we get older, we understand that hatred and harm go together like horse and carriage. All hatred is accompanied by the desire to harm.

It is sometimes astonishing, for instance, when young parents discover that their children are encouraged to engage in practices that will harm them. Smarter parents are outraged to find that helpless children have their diets limited in calories, intentionally deprived of essential fat, and called “obese” if they are slightly more than skin and bones.

When they find that such harm is intentionally inflicted in the name of some imaginary “good”, many simply do not know what to do.

Praying for strength, wisdom, and the power to “do good to them who hurt you” is a start. Asking grandma and grandpa what they think certainly helps to neutralize the effects of hateful, harmful people obsessed with the latest political correctness.

Any news broadcast that says “be careful of . . .” or “watch out for . . .” is most likely a lie from the scare-mongers. Checking the Lie Committee Readings on this site is a fun way to keep up with their never-ending flow of lies.
