No more hate

[Jp.]

Im not really sure it was hate so much as it was just a dislike. Maybe it was disapproval or just a lack of tolerance on my part.
"They" were out there, no one in particular, just some here and there. I'm not sure I even meant to dislike (thats what I'll use) anyone, it just happened.
It was the guy who failed to yeild, the one who had to dig for his money after being in line for so long, the one who couldn't decide what they wanted on their hamburger, ect.
I dont want to feel this way anymore. I'm not talking doing anything stupid, or that, so dont freak out, I just dont want to be mad all the time anymore.
Im getting older now and am kinda alone alot and thats ok to a extent, but being mad at the world and distrusting people all the time isnt getting me anywhere.
Use to be if I didnt know you or we knew someone mutual then I kept my distance. And while I want to be careful I also want to meet new people and see new things. And doing that wont be any fun if I dislike those I might meet off the bat.
Alot of things today make us upset or sad, but I dont want it to make me feel like I use to anymore.
Sorry for the long thoughts here and not sure who all will get it, so to speak, but if you do understand, bless you and if you dont, bless you to.

I know how you feel, I'm like a hermit most of the time. Feel like I'm a grumpy old man and I'm only 27. Could be from being cooped up in town for so long is my excuse. Hang in there bud.

Very good attitude to have. Life's a lot simpler when you don't sweat the small stuff. I've got a beautiful wife and four daughters who all love me. They're all healthy and so am I. I have good friends that I can count on. God has bless me with a lot of love in my life. Who the heck am I to get upset about trivial things that don't matter and take a negative attitude towards someone I don't know. Sometimes I forget how important I really ain't.


Thanks for the reminder.

That is a wonderful decision. You will be amazed how much more relaxed and better you feel letting go of all those negative emotions and toughts. The world isn't nearly as bad a place as some would like you to believe it is. Look around and find the bright spots!

yup. thats my excuse.

I think living in a city actually tightens you up. in my town of 900 back home I had more people that I could trust and open up to than in a CITY of over 2 million now.

NOW, I trust HARDLY ANYONE!

Inner peace is a good thing. Congrats. I could use some myself, especially when driving to and from work.
Hunting and riding my Harley are my therapy.

Good luck with your quest and may God give you the peace you seek.

Used to be a lot like that. Worked hard on letting it go. I'm constantly amazed at what I learn from strangers that I just strike up a conversation with these day. It's the second Commandment!

Thanks for the words of encouragement.
Things are going to upset us sometimes, but the fact is I held on to alot of those things for way to long, on so many things.
Maybe trying quitting smoking has opened my "let it go button" to.

That made it worse for me, nicotine rage is rough stuff.

Good for you.

I had a transition like this last summer. I realized we are all humans, generally trying the best of our ability, or at least to do the best we know how.

I have no idea the trials the "other" people are going through. Also helped to look in the mirror & realize my sh1t stinks as much as the next guys

Congrats on taking the first step. Life is too short to be mad and distrustful all of the time. Take a deep breath every morning, look around and remind yourself that life is what you make it and YOU are steering your ship, not the world around you. Also realize that a man can never have too many friends.

[El Viejo]

Personally, I have found that anger and hate are things i cannot control on my own. It was only when I asked for God's help that I was able to get control of both of those vices. Prayer is a powerful thing and God is always more ready to help us overcome our faults than we are. I'll be praying for you for sure.

This ^^^^^^ !

A buddy one time told me that sometimes we are late for a reason or held up because it is not out time! God has his own plan and by keeping us 30 seconds longer helps us stay longer on this earth til our time is called.

Now people understanding "Right-of-Ways" I am still trying to be patient

[Slow-n-steady]

I hear you. It's like the bitterness just gets worse and worse. Have to find a way to let it all go and appreciate the good things all around.
