Thought crime

[Edwardo Piet]

It's always better to speak your mind. This will make you less stressful. If you hate someone just tell them you hate them, if you pretend to like someone and smile while doing them favors but hating their very core in your mind, you will get restless and stressful.

I agree that holding resentments is not good, but telling someone you hate that you hate them is not necessary in order to let go of resentment.

If I hated you I wouldn't have to tell you because I can hate you without resenting you.

Oh by the way, for what it's worth, I don't hate you. Be nicer to Lostykins and my other friends and I'll dislike you even less. My opinion of you does go down when you're mean to people I like, whether intentionally or unintentionally: But it isn't unrecoverable -- the more you start being nicer to the people I care about the more I'll like you.

For a start, you're young... and I don't want to be condescending by saying that -- I am a nicer person than I was years ago. Older people said the same thing to me and I was like "whatever, your age means nothing!" but now a few years later... they were right.

I do believe people can learn to be nicer and more moral... I just don't think it's something that we could do by arguing with or debating you, I think it's something that happens in your own time. Just try to be sensitive and nice. Being kind is more important than being right. If I was ever mean to you unjustifiably, I'm sorry -- I get very defensive and angry when I feel someone is hurting someone I care about. Just try to be kind. Good luck.
