WHAT I LEARNED
I've learned from this talk that it is not only to a person that I'm angry with. I was able to recognize that sometimes I hate a situation or adversaries. It may be a situation of my personal life, the situation of my family, the situation of a friend, or the state of the nation.
The reality is, there are so many things that we hate about. We tend to say cruel, unkind, and even malicious words. I would consider this talk of President Oaks not only for racism and politics. This applies to all aspects of our life.
This has been one of the commandments of the Lord that I always try to practice every day. If I hate someone or a situation, it is SO HARD to control my heart not to get angry. Most of the time, I cry to release the anger and it helps to make me feel better. I also write down those negative feelings. And while crying or writing, I try to understand the other person or the situation.
It is so hard in the practice of disagreeing with someone without hating or getting angry. However, over time we can learn how to love those we hate. I've learned that we can actually disagree with the process, system, or law peacefully without attacking or demeaning the person we disagree with. Also, we can do this without our heart-pounding with anger and hate.
With all the hate that surrounds us, love is all that we need.
