Hatred and love are Inevitable - Rumi's Wisdom

We love, we hurt, we break, we burn. Everyone one of us affects the other whether through our shared roots or our tangled branches of Love and Hate. Each exists within us, all the time....

Hatred and love are inevitable in the human experience, as they represent the two opposing forces that drive our actions and shape our relationships. It is essential to recognize and understand these emotions to achieve a balance in life.

Rumi, the 13th century poet and mystic, beautifully captures this notion in his poems:

Rewriting in own words,

"Love and hate, two branches of a tree,

In life's garden, they both grow free.

Nourished by the same roots deep,

In our hearts, they silently creep.

When love blooms, the world shines bright,

In its embrace, we take delight.

But when hatred's thorns we feel,

The wounds it leaves, time must heal.

In the dance of life, they twist and turn,

A lesson for each soul to learn.

Embrace the love, let hatred fade,

In unity, our world remade."

We must acknowledge the coexistence of love and hatred. Embrace love and let go of hatred in order to create a harmonious world.
