Dear mrmoonhead:

With no reference on my part to politics-

Your question is: :how do you convince people with hateful beliefs to approach their problems with kindness?”
In other words: how do you convince hateful people to be kind?

How much violence, how many wars, how much abuse can be eliminated if someone had the answer to this question. An answer to this will be priceless, saving millions lives and improving the quality of many more millions.

The verb “convince” makes this question impossible to answer- using logic to dissipate hate? Near impossible. If you want to prevent a person from committing a hateful act, try to deter that person with a real life consequence, like: losing money/ funding/ aid, prison, losing one’s home, etc.

Other than the deterrent affect of real-life consequences, hate triumphs logic, again and again, so reveals history and current widespread violence within the family, in the streets, and in between nations.
