Even their ancestral homeland, Israel, was conquered repeatedly; their sacred temples destroyed. Repugnance, despair and darkness exist within human nature; just as love, compassion and devotion also exist there.

Would that imply that inappropriate behavior could be redeemed in the afterlife? Can we act with senseless brutality and be forgiven? In the absence of science, when giant leaps of faith leave us wanting, we must turn to logic.

Eliminate fear and there will no longer be a need for the tools of bigotry. This is our challenge. We must convince the haters that they have no reason to fear minorities. This is the greatest and most noble challenge of our generation. The reward for success is tolerance, respect and mutual recognition. We can share our planet together as equals. This will be our legacy.Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:11:15 ESThttp://www.trcb.com/relationships/conflict/why-people-hate-8574.htmTRCB.comRelationships / Conflicthttp://www.trcb.com/writing-and-speaking/book-marketing/how-to-be-a-published-author-8527.htmMarketing is time consuming and often frustrating.

The Passover story describes the Jews seemingly insurmountable victory over a vastly superior enemy, a tale of wandering in the wilderness and of redemption with Gods Ten Commandments, which lie at the heart of contemporary Judeo-Christian beliefs. This is the groundwork of our contemporary Western morality and the foundation of desired ethical behavior.
