Enjoy your time on earth

It seems daily we are bombarded with news of someone running over, shooting or stabbing someone. Generally, we find it is race and hate related. Why? I'm no doctor, but I’m pretty sure we’re not programmed pre-birth. So, are we indoctrinated or is it life experience that brings a person to a level to kill simply because of skin color?

Some people have obviously escaped this pattern as you see couples of mixed colors and backgrounds that have found love with one another dating, married and bearing children. Does mankind have to wait until we have a new color or one color before the hatred stops?

I’m well into my 80s and I honestly can’t think of one person I hate. Are there any I don’t care for? Certainly, although it’s difficult to come up with someone. I know there have been some throughout my life.

Life is difficult enough, why burden and stress ourselves over hatred? Instead, be selfish, enjoy this time on earth, it will be over soon enough.
