The Two Seeds: Why Love Heals and Hate Only Destroys

The Two Seeds: Why Love Heals and Hate Only Destroys

By Hazrat Umer

The Story

We are born with a heart that is empty, like a small piece of land. As we grow up, we start planting seeds in that land. Some people plant seeds of love, kindness, and forgiveness. Others, because of pain or anger, plant seeds of hate, jealousy, and revenge. In 2026, the world is moving so fast that we often forget to check what is growing in our own hearts.

I have lived through many seasons of life, and if there is one lesson I have learned in my 15 years of struggle, it is this: Whatever you plant in your heart will eventually rule your life.

The Heavy Chain of Hate

Hate is a very strange thing. We think that by hating someone who hurt us, we are punishing them. But the truth is, hate is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. When you carry hate in your heart, it doesn't hurt the other person as much as it hurts you.

I once knew two brothers. They had a small argument over money. Instead of talking and forgiving, they let hate grow. For ten years, they lived in the same street but never looked at each other. Their faces became hard, their voices became bitter, and they were always stressed. Hate is heavy. It is a chain that ties you to the past and never lets you enjoy the present. It turns your home into a place of silence and your mind into a battlefield.

The Healing Power of Love

On the other side is Love. When I say love, I don't just mean the love between a husband and wife. I mean the love for humanity, the love for a neighbor, and the love for a stranger who is suffering.

Love is like a light. Even a small candle can push away a lot of darkness. When you choose to love, you choose to be free. Love doesn't mean you agree with everyone; it means you choose to understand instead of judge. It means you choose to forgive, not because the other person deserves it, but because you deserve peace.

The Battle Inside Us

There is an old story about a grandfather telling his grandson that there are two wolves fighting inside every person. One wolf is Hate (anger, jealousy, greed), and the other is Love (peace, kindness, hope). The grandson asks, "Which wolf wins?" The grandfather replies, "The one you feed."

In our daily lives, we feed these wolves by the thoughts we keep. When we gossip about someone, we feed hate. When we help someone without expecting anything back, we feed love. In today's world, social media often teaches us to feed the wolf of hate. We see people arguing and fighting over small things. But as humans, we have the power to stop and say, "I will not feed the anger today. I will feed the peace."

Why We Choose Hate?

People usually choose hate because they are afraid. They are afraid of being hurt again, so they build a wall of anger around their hearts. But a wall that keeps out the pain also keeps out the joy. You cannot be happy if you are always on guard.

Real strength—the kind of "Unbreakable Spirit" we talk about—is the ability to stay soft in a hard world. It is the courage to keep loving even after you have been hurt. Growth is moving from a place where you want revenge to a place where you just want peace.

The Choice is Yours

As you walk through life, you will meet many people. Some will be kind, and some will be cruel. You cannot control how they act, but you have 100% control over how you react. You can choose to answer hate with hate, which only makes the darkness bigger. Or, you can answer hate with silence or kindness, which stops the cycle of pain.

My name is Hazrat Umer, and I have seen that at the end of life, nobody remembers how many fights you won or how much money you made. They remember how you made them feel. They remember if you were a person of love or a person of hate.

Conclusion

Don't let your heart become a prison. Forgive those who hurt you—not for them, but for yourself. Plant seeds of love every day, even in small ways. A smile to a stranger, a kind word to a tired worker, or a hug for a family member—these are the things that make life beautiful.

Choose love, because love is the only thing that grows when you give it away. Hate only makes you smaller, but love makes you a giant.
