Hate is not an option, love is the only way.

I found this somewhere and I resonated with me, so I'm sharing it:

"I feel as though I have to say something here.

Nobody should ever feel alone, but truth is, many of us will at one point or another, whether or not we show that to those around us.

There is never an excuse for bullying. Not being able to accept someone for who they are is one thing, criticizing them because they aren't you or who you think they should be is another.  

Words will forever resinate with a person, and the hurt has the ability to serve as a reminder for the rest of someone's life to not socialize, trust, or even love freely.

Take the time to get to know a person before you judge them.

It is up to an individual who they choose to love, what they aspire to be, how they want to eat, and whatever they might do with the rest of their lives. It is easy to say that your words can either make or break someone's vision of his or her dream.  

I urge each and every one of you to go out and introduce yourself to someone that doesn't look like the typical person you'd socialize with.  This can be anywhere: the coffee shop, in line at the grocery, or even telling the person at the gas pump across from you "hope you have a great day".  

Realize you can be that one person to change a person's life, and maybe even save him or her from oneself."

Hate is not an option.  Love is the only way
