Kindred,
When in difficult times, bleak and bleak, and you cannot see any light, you need to take the leap of faith that this too shall pass as it does in the pass.
Know that sometimes there is hate, but there will always be love if not anywhere, but inside yourself and with the Lord.
You may have experienced hate for no reason, based upon your race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity or sexual orientation) or disability, yet these experiences do not define who you are, but the haters.
Negative experiences may alter your perception of the world, but it cannot define you unless you let it.
No matter your experience, there are always many things to be grateful for, especially when love exists in the world and people willing to defend and express it in charity; where "Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love"*.
*1 Corinthians 13:13
