Your line about letting go of hate really hit me. I think that's why I'm here. Ultimately, Steemit is a market, and in any free market, producers are obligated to let go of the hate and produce value in order to succeed. What I like about this platform is that there are many ways to produce value, above and beyond your writing product. Commenting, interacting, helping, listening, learning from others - mutually beneficial actions necessary for success. What benefits you will benefit me, ultimately. I see much less hate here than I do on other platforms (my friends tend to debate politics). Am following you because I look forward to more of your ideas.

I appreciate you taking the "let go of hate" thing. I think it's a tragedy actually how easily we resort to hate instead of logic. The experiment that I was talking about actually works. I used it for a different challenge and mine dealt with self-love, namely the fact that I don't yet have that quality. I chose one day and asked myself, "What would someone who loves themselves do? I decided that someone who loves themselves would go to the gym, taking care of their physical self. Then, I guess they might take themselves out to eat a healthy meal, then maybe get some necessities that they had been neglecting. I reversed all the energy that one usually throws onto another, and decided to put that energy into myself. It worked for one day. Then the next day, I resumed my habit of neglecting my basic needs. I have a new taste for what it feels like, though.
Well, that's a start. I'm sure you'll eventually get there. It can take a lifetime.
Your piece here inspired one of my own, and taking your explicit advice, I mentioned you and linked your article in it. Thanks for the inspiration. <3
