NICK HUGHES Opinion Editor

Last week in the enterprise issue I published an article concerning hate. Specifically how we as a species could stop the flow of hate. I know that it is a pointless endeavor, but I have come to a conclusion that I think needs to be added to the previ- ous article. That conclusion being that, even though we cannot stop hate entirely, there is no excuse for us not to try. We cannot achieve a utopia and it is a fool’s errand to believe we can. What we can do, however, is our best to act like decent human beings. There are other hashtags being #HimToo say it’s a disgrace to Amidst all of the chaos and hate that freely flows from SKYLER MEADE used along with #Himtoo such as #MeToo and disrespectful to the the government, various religious groups and downright Staff Writer #BelieveEvidenceNotGender , #Con- survivors of sexual abuse, which I nasty people, we can still be civil, at the very least, to each firmKavanaughNow and #IStand- believe to be understandable espe- other.

The few people tweeting against grows up in an environment where racism is prevalent will most likely become racist themselves. This is of no fault of their own in my estimation. It is merely a consequence of their upbringing. What a person chooses to do with hate falls at the feet of that person. Their actions with their hatred will be what defines them. On the flip-side, love is also taught. You as a person are taught to love your parents, taught to love your siblings and taught to love the people that your parents love. This cycle is seen as healthy and something that is natural for people to do, and I want to put forth the opinion that hate can be the same way. With the exception being the healthiness of hate. Hate is not a healthy feeling. When someone feels hate, it is a result of uncontrol- lable anger and sometimes barely controlled anger. It is of- ten manifested when conflict occurs between two or more people or groups. Hate is not a good feeling to have at any time. I would rather feel love than hate at any instance. Regardless of the futility of utopia, I still believe that it is something that we should strive for. Stopping the flow of hate seems to be a step in the right direction to me.
