You don't practice non-hate because they don't deserve to be hated. You practice non-hatred because YOU deserve peace.

There have always been evil people, and yes, there always will be evil people. Sometimes they hide, sometimes they're quiet, sometimes they're sneaky...but they're always there. Nothing has changed this week except your perspective, which became aware that there were a lot more enemies out there than you were aware of. We'll get through it together though, so try to keep your peace of mind as best as you can, and if they come for you...don't go alone.

No matter HOW they come for you.
