It's better to be hated than ignored..

Assalamualaikum..

How are you? Me? Oklah... hari ni tak de idea nak tulis panjang2...just short and simple!!!

I know what it is like to be hated, and I know what it is like to be ignored. Being ignored is far worse. Unless people are listening, unless they care, you don't have a chance in hell of making any kind of impact.

The opposite of love is not hate: it's indifference. If someone bothers to hate you it means that they care about you. They don't care to see you happy, they don't care to help, but they do care, they are watching --you have a chance to make your point. You could turn that hate in to love.

Of course some people who believe in this idea too strongly end up as victims of domestic violence . . . . -but there is something to it. If anything, we should be able to see how it is possible to use the hatred others may have for us to our own advantage.

After all, we know that the ones who hate us the most really, really, care.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
Mohandas Gandhi
