Rehumanize

Dehumanization.
We are very quickly becoming a society that does this all too easily and dehumanizing people is what inevitably makes it easy to harm them. We need to really stop that behavior of perpetuating hatred for someone so much so that we wouldnt mind seeing them hurt.

We need to start REhumanizing people. If we dont. We are quite easily headed to a judge, jury, and executioner society where just by collectively hating someone, we rationalize removing them from existence.

But understand this, when we hate, that hate is like a boomerang, it may feel righteous and we may rationalize it as natural because the person we hate "deserves" it. But it will come back to us, and take part of our soul. Part of our humanity. When we harm or justify killing another because they "deserve" it, a part of our soul does as well.

There is no win win with hate. Everyone loses. Humanity means "human beings collectively". We are one collective race and so if one is hurt, we all hurt. There is nothing you contribute to society that doesnt effect the entire human race. This is what Bob Marley meant when he said "When the rain falls, it dont fall on one man's housetop". We are extensions of one another. Our actions, who we decide to be, affects everyone in the entire world.

So why not lead with Love and empathy? It is hypocritical to hate someone for being hateful. Because all we've done then, is create more hate and more of what we dont like. We need to be the change, Collectively.

REHUMANIZE. Otherwise you'll find your own humanity slipping away from you and you'll become that which you once stood against.
