Quote by Stewart Stafford

“Never think that hatred and prejudice are the exclusive problems of any particular group in society or the world. When we become inured to hate's virulence, it has time to thrive, spread and reach everyone eventually. So take no comfort from the fact that others are suffering today and not you. The mirror of empathy makes us witnesses to our own future torment.”

“Hate is a power that hollows out reality of all that God intended. It empties the world of love, redemption, reconciliation, and opens the abyss of nothingness. It builds an irrefutable case against its object. It is a friend to those that exalt themselves above others. It is an uncreative force that deceives all participants. It is a pollutant that corrupts good intentions. Hate is an exclusionary act that dehumanizes its object. Hate is a parasite on the marrow of humanity.”

“ان حياتي لن تكون ابدا في المغرب. مع انني احب وطني بعمق ... احب ارضه و تاريخه...احب لغته و تقاليده. احب شعبه المستضعف المقهور...لكنه متعال و شامخ على مر العصور ليس بيني و بينه حواجز و سدود ... بيني و بينه قصة حب خالدة لا ينطفئ اوارها... انني ابنته الباره ابدا... من صلبه ولدت انا..ومن ترابه...ما اسعدني عندما يقولون لي بانني شعبية... انه وسام فخر اعتز به...و اعذب مديح سمعته في حياتي. و انا ملقاة في غياهب السجن ساعدتني على الصمود والبقاء تلك الكراهية التي كانت تملأ قلبي لجلادي ... والتي خلت انذاك انها تشمل كذالك بلادي. لكنهم ما ان اطلقوا سراحي حتى انطفأت نيرانها و خمدت اليوم حين تحاول الكراهية ان تذر بقرنها... وتطفو الى السطح من جديد...اعيدها بكل جوارحي الى القعر...لا اريدها ان تنغص علي عيشي وان تدمر ما تبقى من حياتي. ان الكراهية تنهش الروح و تضعضع الجسد ... انها لا تجدي نفعا ولن تعيد الي الذي مضى....”

“Emotional abuse poisons a relationship and infuses it it with hostility, contempt, and hatred. No matter how much a couple once loved each other, once emotional abuse becomes a consistent aspect of the relationship, that love is overshadowed by fear, anger, guilt, and shame. Whether it is one or both partners who are being emotionally abusive, the relationship becomes increasingly more toxic as time goes by. In this polluted environment it is difficult for love not only to grow but to survive. At the very least, emotional abuse causes both the abuser and the victim to lose sight of any redeeming qualitites his or her partner once had. The more a partner is allowed to degrade, criticize, or dominate her partner, the less she will respect her partner. And the more a partner is emotionally abused, the more he will slowly build up an intense hatred towards his abuser. The disrespect and hatred each partner begins to feel leads to more and more emotional abuse and to each partner justifying inappropriate, even destructive, behavior. Over time, anger can build up on the part of both abuser and victim, and emotional abuse can turn to physical violence.”
