Do you know what the worst bad option is?
Yes, you choose how others perceive you.
How do you do this? You direct yourself through the circumstances in your life that require a decision. Your decisions and choices define your personality as well as how others perceive you.
Unfortunately, some people decide to practice hatred.
This egocentric choice harms yourself as well as your community and causes others to perceive you negatively.
Hating someone feels as though you are making a strong statement. But although it is a strong sentiment, it leaves you weak–physically, emotionally, and mentally. Hatred limits your options to solve problems and compromises your health.
As you allow hatred to build within yourself, hating negatively affects your body’s organs and natural processes and breeds even more negative emotions. Hating takes its toll on the body in the form of high blood pressure, stress, anxiety, headaches, depression, and poor circulation. Research shows that even one five-minute episode of this powerful negative emotion can impair your immune system for more than six hours. All the negative effects of this option can lead to more serious problems like heart attacks and strokes and other serious conditions such as cancer.
Whenever you think of someone or something you believe you hate, please think about the consequences of your hatred on your own life as well as how others regard you. Remember that hatred does not solve any problems.
What are the antidotes to hatred? Working together and treating others the way you want to be treated in spite of your differences are just two of them. If you practice the antidotes to hatred instead of hating, you will solve problems and improve your life instead of making your own life and the lives of others more problematic.
Avoid this option because it helps no one–including yourself.
