The Salting Of The Earth
















You should know that there is something worse than hate and that is unlove.

Because hate is anger over something lost, hate is passion, hate is misguided, it's caring for the wrong things but it is still caring.

But unlove, unlove is to unkiss, to unremember, to unhold, to undream, to undo everything that ever was and leave smooth stone behind in its wake.

No fire.

No fury.

Just, nothing.

And that is worse than hate.

Nothing is worse than hate.
Nothing, is worse than hate.
Because you can't hate something if you don't at least love it a little.

Yes and I'd rather be miserable than bored.

You make me miserable sometimes. But you never, ever bore me. That's why I love you.

Always.

This one just hit home. Now, I am curled up and shedding tears over someone unworthy.

Worse than the unlove: guilt of feeling it. (I don't think people ever mean to let go.)

He unloved me. And his indifference has undone me.

Powerful writing here.

This one hits hard.

I've recently been unloved and it's so hard to not hurt. But I'm stronger than this.

I know I am.

Unloved is another way of ignorance, of acceptance, of moving on.

The journey from hate to unlove is a long one, my friend. It takes a lot of time and effort. But more importantly, it takes being humane. To yourself and to others.
Unlove is not as bad as it seems. It is definitely better than hate at least.

When all that's left is indifference. That's the antithesis of love, not hate.

Hating him is so much easier than unloving him.
To hate him all I have to do is remind myself all the ways he was wrong. But to unlove him I have to make myself forget all the ways in which he was right.

This is incredibly saddening because it is incredibly true.

As usual you are pessimistic. You really know how to bring nothing but the dark. There is no light in you. She was mistaken. She thought you deliberately kept yourself dark. That your light was so blinding that you hid it to protect her.
But now, now i think you are just like the other impostors.

THERE IS NI LIGHT IN YOU.
