Hatred of any kind is a form of decay. Love is a wondrous builder. Which would you rather have in your life?

It is better to love! *Do you know not that animosity is a sad and costly emotion?* *If you truly look for joy you will find it in feelings of devotion* *Respect, love and great affection can give your heart great joy* *However, hatred, bitterness and antipathy damage and destroy* *The affection you show others is after all, of your soul a great reflection* *Just as the antagonism leaves no room to forgive or console and cause your souls destruction* *So practice the art of admiration and find something in others to admire* *Leave no room in your heart for antipathy but make love your great desire* *By doing so you not only bless others with your friendship* *But fill your heart with wondrous joy each time you find a comradeship.* *Remember that love is the greatest commandment for it has no place for hostility* *So open up your heart to friends, showing them great and loving hospitality*
