Why do we teach our children to hate others when there are so many options to love? Why do we teach hate when kindness, compassion, tolerance, and harmony add such beauty to life?

About This Quote

We teach our children to hate others when there are so many options to love. When we teach hate, we teach them to believe that they are superior and that they can control the world around them. Instead of teaching them to be kind and compassionate, we teach them to look at people as a problem or a nuisance. We teach our children to hate others when we tell them that it is okay to be cruel and abusive to those around us. We teach our children to hate others when we tell them that we need this or that and it is okay to be selfish and greedy and take from others for our own gain.
