Choose love over hate from "summary" of The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku
When faced with hatred, I have always chosen love. Love is a powerful force that can conquer even the darkest of times. It is easy to succumb to anger and bitterness when faced with adversity, but I have learned that love is the only way to truly overcome hatred. By choosing love over hate, we can heal wounds, build bridges, and create a better world for future generations. During my time in the concentration camps, I witnessed the worst of humanity. I saw the depths to which people can sink when consumed by hate. But even in those dark days, I held onto my belief in the power of love. I refused to let the hatred of others infect my own heart. Instead, I chose to show kindness, compassion, and forgiveness to those around me. In the face of unimaginable suffering, I found solace in acts of love and kindness. Whether it was sharing a piece of bread with a fellow prisoner or offering a comforting word to someone in despair, I always chose to respond with love. I knew that by doing so, I was not only preserving my own humanity but also sowing seeds of hope for a better future. After the war, I could have easily given in to bitterness and resentment. I had every reason to hate those who had caused so much pain and destruction. But I knew that holding onto hate would only perpetuate the cycle of violence and suffering. So instead, I chose to forgive. I chose to let go of the past and embrace a future filled with love and compassion. In the years since my liberation, I have dedicated my life to spreading a message of love and tolerance. I have seen firsthand the transformative power of choosing love over hate. It is not always easy, and there are times when anger and resentment threaten to take hold. But I know that love is the only path to true happiness and peace. In a world filled with division and conflict, it is more important than ever to choose love over hate. When we respond to hatred with love, we can break down barriers, bridge divides, and create a more harmonious society. Love has the power to heal wounds, mend hearts, and bring people together in a spirit of unity and understanding. It is a choice that we must make every day, in every interaction, in order to truly become the happiest versions of ourselves.
