Hate is a Case of Mistaken Identity

Hate Is a Case of Mistaken Identity

by Scott Quinn

Hate is a case of mistaken identity.

The hurt hand blames the other hand for its pain.

The anxious eye fears the heel just out of sight.

The ear focused on disharmony cannot hear the heart beat.

Hate requires a response.

And while the useful interventions are many,

The ultimate antidote to hate

Is a two-way mirror

Where the divine in you sees the divine in me

Sees the divine in you sees the divine in me

Until all that’s left is one seeing through many eyes.
