"Differences between us did not cause hatred; hatred caused differences between us." This quote had a huge impact on me. It took me back to all those times when I thought I hated someone. Someone I just loathed, maybe because they were annoying. Maybe because they were too clingy. I don't every little thing that made them seem somewhat alien, that made me not like them. Is it because I just started hating them, so that became our difference? All these questions rose into my mind. It really made me think about myself as a person. Did I just do what my friends did, hate who they hated. Then the moment I started hating them it became the difference between us? It forced me to look deeper into not only myself but into my friends. Do they make hatred the difference between their enemies? Soon I came to the conclusion that not everybody is perfect. It is human nature to want to fit in. To want to please someone. So you try to be like them so you can have a group of people you can call friends. But I know I have done this; I have made hatred the difference between some of my enemies. But other times I stood up for people and only used my own opinion on whether I liked them or not!
