Easier Said Than Done.

I know it's probably hard, perhaps bordering on impossible...

But please try not to hate.

Hatred is what prevents people from enjoying life.

Hatred is what kills thousands of people every day around the world.

Storing hatred and grudges in your heart will turn it black.

See what happened to our friend? See what bottled-up rage and grudges did to him?

It's like a fuel inside you..... waiting to be ignited.

And Satan's suggestions will be the spark.

The inferno in your heart will burn it..... burn it til' it becomes black.

It's not worth it, is it?

Do you want to one day, do what he did? Hurt people without a care?

Don't do that mistake.

You must realize.... sometimes you get angry at or hate a person...

You might hurt others too...

What our friend posted on Facebook was aimed at you, but it hurt me like hell as well.

You know how I reacted when he posted what he posted?

I choked. I went WHAT THE FUCK aloud. Lucky the door was closed.

After that my heart was racing. How is she going to react to this? Is she okay? Is she crying?

I checked your blog. Sure enough, you were hurting.

I got up and thought of driving down there to see what I can do. I wanted to hug you tight until you were okay.

Alas, the car keys were with my Dad. I cursed my luck.

So I went back to my lappie, trying to counsel Shai like "Why you so angry all of a sudden? you okay?"

"Dude, what you did there wasn't cool. Wasn't cool at all. Have you any idea what you did?"

At this point I am extremely disappointed.

Immediately my thoughts of my friend Shai, who smiles all the time, who helped me so much (get a job....which led me to meeting you), who spent time with me playing football and cycling, an overall awesome guy...

Flew outside the window.

I typed and erased. Again and again. But in the end I just gave up. I thought...with the devil still in his mind, he probably would react poorly against anything I had to say.

So all I could do is just lie there and be mindfucked beyond my ..... mind.

I felt helpless. I had absolutely no idea what I should do/say.

Blah blah blah blah ya da ya da ya da ....... fast forward to next year... (lol)

Here we are.... in this somewhat tense situation.

My dear sweet love, what I'm trying to say is that sometimes when you hate someone it could hurt someone you don't.

I know somewhere in your heart, you really don't wanna hate him.

What he did to you, he deserves your hatred. But don't give that to him.

Give him your smile, your forgiveness and your offer for peace.

That's what our beloved Rasullallah (SAW) would've done.

You don't have to look far for inspiration.

Look at your cousin.

She's amazing. She forgave him twice for a mistake much, much, much grave.

She truly is a wonderful person. I hope our friend realizes that.

I know it's hard. I know that and I acknowledge that you will probably take time to recover from what's happened...

Let's forgive and forget. I'm ready to forgive him. Promise me you'll forgive him the minute he says he's sorry?

I love the whole lot of you. Don't you guys know how much joy you all brought me these past few months? I don't want to lose anyone.

Dear, it's easier said than done.... or should I say easier typed than done (lol),

But it's entirely possible.

Remember kids,

Hatred is bad!

and stay away from drugs.
