The master is wise but a wise man never has all the answers, just the wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong.

But master, why
do people hate?


Hate is a form of
insecurity grasshopper,
most people hate
because they are
evil in heart, unhappy
and not content with
their own lives. Others
hate because this is all
they have been taught.
Still others hate out
of jealousy and envy.
To figure out the true
reason one hates, you
would have to get to
know the person and
something about his
life dilemma.


But master if I
get to know a person
who has hate in his heart,
wouldn't that hate
rub off on me?


No grasshopper,
hate can't be caught
like a disease, if there
is true light in one's
heart, hate can never
reside there. People
who hate are traveling
the path of strong
resistence. Not a wise
path to walk.


How can I love someone
who hates me master
?


First you have to learn
the true meaning of love
grasshopper. Love is a
deep feeling of affection
toward something or some
person. There are different
degrees of love. Only you
know in your own heart
how deep your love for
another is. Love is the
opposite of hate, you may
not love someone who hates
you but wisdom will guide
your heart away from such
negativity of heart. Another
person is only a human
being, you might not love
the persons attitude but
to love him as a fellow
human being makes you
the wiser one. A wise person
never hates. This is how
you want to be grasshopper,
wise, so you love.


But master I still don't
understand how I can love
someone who hates me?


Neither do I grasshopper,
I'm older and been in this world
longer than you, and neither
do I. All I know is that it has
lightened my heart over the
years and made life much
easier. Let me explain it this
way.


If you love yourself,
you will not hate.


End of lesson grasshopper,
now I will rest.


Kung-fu.


G
