Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate. Unknown
What a concept. Truly! What if we all did this? What if we actually gave more attention to what we love than what we hate? So many examples come to mind - a lot of them controversial so I'm not going to use any of them because I'm not interested in starting a debate. :)
Suffice it to say that when we stand on "street corners" bashing the thing we hate we aren't telling people what we love. We are only sending the message of what we hate. If you've ever been guilty of this then have you noticed how people will "cross the street" to get away from you? It's not because they are convicted by your bashing, it's because they are disgusted. Just sayin'. You've done it too. You've seen up ahead someone standing on a "street corner" bashing something you love and you've "crossed the street" in disgust. We all do it.
But what if you and I took to the "streets" and promoted what we loved without bashing the thing we hate? Can you do it? Can I? Can we actually keep hate and bashing out of the message we are trying to share?
