Self-Destructive Hatred
April 28, 2012

George Washington Carver (1864–1943) overcame terrible racial prejudice to establish himself as a renowned American educator. Spurning the temptation to give in to bitterness for the way he was treated, Carver wisely wrote, “Hate within will eventually destroy the hater.”

In the book of Esther, we see how self-destructive hatred can be. Mordecai, a Jew, refused to bow down before Haman—a self-important dignitary in the Persian court. This angered Haman, who manipulated information to make Mordecai and his people appear as threats to the empire (3:8-9). When his scheming was complete, Haman called on the Persian king to kill all the Jews. The king proclaimed an edict to that effect, but before it could be carried out, Esther intervened and Haman’s devious plot was revealed (7:1-6). Enraged, the king had Haman executed on gallows the schemer had built for Mordecai (7:7-10).

Carver’s words and Haman’s actions remind us that hatred is self-destructive. The biblical response is to turn hatred around and return good for evil. “Repay no one evil for evil,” Paul said (Rom. 12:17). When offended, “do not avenge yourselves” (v.19). Instead, do what is right (v.17) that you may live “peaceably with all men” (v.18).

Harboring hatred in the heart
Will not lead to success;
But following truth and love and grace
Will lead to blessedness. —Hess

Hatred promotes self-destruction;
love fulfills Christ’s instruction.

Read: Esther 7:1-10

Repay no one evil for evil. —Romans 12:17

Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 17-19

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Drumbo]

I can't be sure, but I believe the first Joni Mitchell song I ever heard was "Michael From The Mountains" in 1968. I was a pre-freshman in High School (we had no middle schools in those days) and it was one of the most awkward years of my life, at least to that point. Something about Joni's music helped releive my stress of changing voice, changing responsibilities and overall growing pains. My best friend from elementary school was a girl who played guitar and set my juvenile lyrics to music, and it was she who first played me Joni's "Songs For A Seagull" album. I can honestly say that I fell in love with that mousey folk-singer who sang soprano and wrote charming melodies for her well crafted song-poems. "Charming" is a word with magical properties, it means to enchant or bewitch. It's been over 44 years now since I fell under Joni's spell and while she still portrays the folk-singer, her career has spanned rock, country, blues, jazz and pop and she continues to expand her palette of artistry. Her collaborations with Crosby, Stills & Nash, Johnny Cash, James Taylor, Tom Scott, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorious, Charles Mingus, Herbie Handcock and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters are all legend.

By far, her biggest songwriting success has come from other artists covering her work, but she's continued to grow as a performing artist with an endless string of albums and a relentless touring schedule. She has evolved as a lyricist and performer of such reknown and a composer with a cornicopia of such rich ideas that she has become an American icon, a poet laureate of an era, known and loved worldwide.

From humble beginnings in Saskatchewan, she moved to California in 1965 and was instantly recognized as a songwriting phenom, first on the folk scene but soon expanding into jazz in the 70's and eventually becoming uniquely ensconced in a catagory all her own, repected by her peers, adored by her fans and "stoking the starmaker machinery behind the popular song."

I've heard Bill Clinton say this song is the inspiration for his daughter's name, but I've heard him say a lot of things. It may depend on what is is.
