Recently I had a realization:
If I know and care about something
then I love it

Some might say that
if I know and care about something
then I might also hate it

But I had another realization:
I realized that hate is just the same as love
projected through an ugly screen of thoughts

I realized that
there are only two solutions
if I think I hate something

Either I stop caring about it
or I remove the ugly screen of thoughts

Now my love is much more free

It cares for beauty
and dissolves its grip from ugliness
