I see many people
Scared of expressing their feelings.
Too afraid to accept the hatred in their heart,
They wear fake masks of love
Which are completely ridiculous.

But
Man, I promise.
It’s okay to disclose your anger.
It’s okay to reveal your screams in the heart.

It’s okay.
You can do anything-
Anything for yourself.

Of course, I have no power to prevent you being one of the people.
But before wearing a painful pleasure on your face,
please at least remember this:

Hatred is not a sin.

It is a gift from a god,
giving us a freedom to scream for
Our broken bones.

It is not something that is so ugly
That it must be concealed and rejected.

Moreover,
Hatred has been always with us.
Coco Chanel couldn’t be a friend with Elsa Schiaparelli.
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla publically criticized on each other’s work.
Some might call hatred is a sin,
But we have to acknowledge that
These amazing rivals had already created innovations and miracles
Because they had somebody to
Hate and compete with.

Man,
If there is a white,
Then there is a black.
If there is a black,
Then there is a white.
If there is a happiness,
Then there is a sadness.
If there is a sadness,
Then there is a happiness.

If we have love,
Then why can’t we have hatred?

Man, we can’t just throw away our feelings into the garbage can.
Instead of hiding your dilapidated heart into a forbidden cache,
Isn’t it better to open everything in yourself
And be free?
