The seeds of hatred can take root in any human heart—even those most committed to compassion and peace. In this episode, I share my journey through betrayal and rage alongside reflections on the genocide in Palestine, exploring parallels between personal and collective trauma.What happens when appropriate anger—that evolutionary response designed to protect us—has nowhere to go? Like an encounter with a bear in the wilderness, anger can serve us brilliantly in moments of danger. But when that same energy gets trapped, recycled, and amplified through experiences of victimhood and righteous indignation, it transforms into something far more destructive."Resentment is like drinking poison and wishing someone else would die," goes the saying—yet that poison can taste surprisingly good. From social media rhetoric that dehumanizes "the other" to generational trauma passed down through bloodlines, hatred perpetuates itself with remarkable efficiency.The antidote to violence lies not in denying our anger, but in redirecting its energy toward healing solutions that connect us across even the deepest divides. This isn't about ignoring structural violence or colonial oppression. Rather, it's about fighting the problem, not the person—recognizing that the real enemy isn't any group of humans but hatred itself. When we drop from our heads into our hearts, we discover a different kind of power—one that can stand firmly against injustice without perpetuating the very cycle we seek to break.Join me in this difficult but necessary conversation about what it means to wake up human in a world on fire.
