Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. ~Martin Luther King Jr.
This quote describes what I feel most of the time. People ask why I can't hate them, my only reply is that I can't because I know them. I do not know much being a young naive teenager but what I have learned from experience is priceless.
Love others simply because we should, we should treat others kindly and how we want to be treated because imagine it from their perspective. Better yet, imagine those friends or people you know who are instantly a positive influence for you, the people who stand out to you because they treated you in a unique humble manner. Be the person that you want to meet, be the friend that you want to have. It applies to anything really.
They say to learn from others mistakes and I believe this to be true however, learning from your own mistakes seems to get the message across more profoundly.
