Make love, not war

I can't count the number of times I've used the word hate.

"I hate homework."
"I hate life."
"I hate you."

Do I ever really mean it? No.

I'm going to confess that I have never, ever, wholeheartedly hated something.
Because everything has a reason, right? You can't blame them.

Soldiers killing other soldiers are only trying to save the people of their country.
A mother selling a child into labor is only trying to save the rest of the children.
People executing innocent people in Guantanamo, they're only taking orders.
And even Bush tried.
And plus, who elected him in the first place? We did. So it's not in our place to complain.

Complaining gets nothing done. Instead, let's act.

Instead of sitting on our buts whining that global warming will kill us all, stand up and turn off that light.
Instead of listening to reports on wolf slaughter, sign a petition.
(CLICKY CLICKY!)
Instead of just reading this blog, get out there and act.

  1. You said 'buts' instead of 'butts.' Fix it.

    And it's really funny, because in video some guys think I hate them, and I always respond with, "I've told you guys, I don't hate anyone! I am aloud to extremely dislike certain qualities of people." Big difference. (:

    I don't really hate anything either. Hating is only a way to express extreme discontent. If I really hated homework, I wouldn't do it. But I do. Which means I don't hate it, I'm just annoyed by it.

    Stupid english language, haha.
