Mortal mind has a tricky way of convincing the human mind that it’s easier to hate than to love. But it really isn’t. It’s much easier to love than to hate.
Hate hurts. There is nothing good about it. It creates darkness in the mind of the perpetrator. It can cause angst, fear, tension, strain and stress in relationships it affects. It is a destroyer of peace. It kills mental and physical health. It is evil. It is not good. There is nothing healthy or happy about hate. It is not an easy path to trek down.
Whereas, expressing love heals. Love has a good effect. Love creates light and it blesses with light all those it rests upon. Love creates peace, harmony, inspires joy, dissolves tension, eliminates stress and strengthens relationships. Love is a promoter of all that is good and true. Love builds mental and physical health. Love is God’s good in action. Love is freedom. To love is an easy path to walk down for it brings so much good into one’s experience when embraced and lived.
So, be wary of the temptation to think it’s easier to hate than to love. It’s not. The temptation is self-serving illusion that may feel justified and appropriate to the carnal mind when indulged, but in the long run, has to be seen for the evil it is and stripped of power and presence. It’s much easier to love right from the beginning and to stay on top of mental harmony than to fall into a pit of mental darkness and have to climb out of that hole later.
Choose to love, right up front, from the start, without hesitation. It’s the happier way to live for you and for everyone around you.
What an amazing idea – its easier to love than to hate. Love creates peace, harmony, inspires joy, dissolves tensions, eliminates stress, strengthens relationships. Yes so very rightly said Evan, love is a promoter of all that is good and true. Most importantly love builds mental and physical health. And as mentioned in one of the Hymns “Love alone is life.” Such an inspiring article comes at the right time.
Your article has dissolved all the hard feelings and makes me feel so much lighter, happier, and a sense of freedom and peace rests on me.
We are truly blessed to receive a lovely inspiration from you Evan, day after day. We thank God for you and God bless.
Evan,
I echo this comment from Nergish. We are blessed with your posts each day.
Thank you so very much for your dedication and love!

The prefix–ISM Is mainly used in ideas expressing discriminatory and oppressive attitudes of belief solely to advertise and practice hate to it’s fellow man as expressed in Nazi-ISM and other systems that may involve religious beliefs that try to separate man in tribal and harmful in humanities. This is so hard to do when it involves so much blood and slaughter. What an easier way to express Love and good will. It does wonders in the work field and neighbor field.
Thanks for the much-needed reminder, Evan! It’s always the “human ego”, isn’t it, which wants to Hate, as it feels like hating will get back at the perpetrator and then we will feel like “justice” has been done……HA! Isn’t that just like the carnal, mortal mind to feel that it has to take justice into its own hands……when God is the Lawmaker, and Truth uncovers and destroys error in God’s own way!
Who says dogs and cats can’t get along and be friends. The picture demonstrates the words of the blog. Very cute and so helpful.
Thanks, Evan! I loved the picture and the message. Hate can also include accepting a false picture of someone rather than seeing their true spiritual identity. And being unforgiving.
Love costs neither time nor money, nor false hurt, nor explanation. Love teaches many lessons, even without a word spoken or written, but love brings much good to all and sharing smiles. Love heals. To love meets the admonition for all: to teach, preach, and heal.
Thank you, Evan.
Thanks again Evan
After church tonite I felt such boundless love.
Emerging from a family time of seeming hate the message of loving in “flood – tides” as Mrs. Eddy wrote became so real and true in my thought.
I’m reading this a day late but the message is so clear and powerful.
Again thank you
