Message: Do you really hate someone or, do you only hate the condition he or she is in at the moment.We are not here to judge others but, to understand why this person was pushed into acting the way he or she did.Sometimes it's wise to do a bit of digging, to find out why this person acted this way, towards you and possibly you can try and help that person out and, if it's over your head,it would be wise to keep away from that person just for a little while.You probably would be surprised of the results and might end up having the best of friend ever.Knowing that no one is perfect and that sometimes we could break up a beautiful friendship,is something to really think about before getting carried away too quickly and hurting yourself and someone that you really care about.

Message: Hey Jazzy Smiley.
In my situation I have to hate the person and the situation. Some of my family and friends are racists and they don't approve of me dating Luther. I tried to explain to them and gave them many chances to understand but they don't. They told me they will never change and that causes hate.
What would any person do when they bring a boyfriend named Luther to a family gathering so they can meet him and they all make rude remarks because of the colour of his skin?
I do admit I do hate certain people because they have hate in their hearts.
Others who only get angry and rude for a day or two I still love.

Message: Hello Smiley, dear.
I do forgive and I look at every possible angle why a person acted that way. I believe in forgiving and helping rather than screaming and shouting.

Message: Hi Smiley. I always give others the benefit of the doubt and I never judge. I stay away until the person has time to gather their thoughts and work out the problems. If they need help, I'm there for them.
Hi Erin. How can people be racist? It's sick.

Message: This is quite an exception Erin but i still believe that even though they say they will never change,something always happens in life to these people to make them change their attitudes.Keeping away for a certain period of time might be the answer.If one day you learn about such a change,i'm sure you will forgive them because, you have a strong will and a very good hearth and, that unbreakable love you have for Luther will eventually reach them.It takes a litlle longer, for some people to accept that, no matter what color our skin is,it's what is in our hearts that counts.Think of it this way,racism is a sickness and when we least expect it,people get cured from it.I know it's not easy for you and Luther but,as they always say,time heals everything.So Erin, you know that love is stronger than anything so,keep strong,and keep on hoping and be prepared for an eventual change to happen.In the meantime,Keep On Smiling and the very best of luck to you and Luther.....

Message: A smart thought Smiley. If we never forgive we never can let go or renew friendships. I hope Erin one day they wake up and be happy for you and Luther.

Message: Hi Smiley.
I agree. I was listening to Michael Jackson songs this afternoon and I love this song and "Man In The Mirror" where he states that it starts out with yourself first making a change and then others will follow. I love it.

Message: Hi Laura,Michael Jackson did indeed touch a lot of people with his songs and the statements he made in some of his songs could and should be applied to everyone and, this is how we can change things and have a better world to live in....

Message: Hey Smiley. We only have each other in this world. If a friend and I have a disagreement I look at it from both sides and not get into a shouting match. Understanding is the most important quality humans have.

Message: Hey Smiley. FANTASTIC thought.
I make sure I always listen more than talk when someone is angry with me. I let them have their say. No reason to battle or scream. I keep it in a nice tone. That doesn't work all of the time. Many times people hate because of skin colour or faith in religion. The sad fact is they were brought up that way. Their Parents taught them to hate. Now they are teaching their kids to hate and this can go on for many generations. That's the problem Erin is facing and it's unfair.
Life is too short to waste time on hating others. Love and be Positive and live.
A FANTASTIC topic Smiley to bring up.
