BTW, a person might claim they can't be racist because they don't have any power or privilege, but hatred by any other name is still hatred.
Some black churches, since the days of slavery, have been built around hatred of the white man. Hatred is incredibly destructive, particularly for the person who embraces it.
Hatred hijacks the brain’s survival systems. It overactivates the amygdala—the part responsible for fear and threat detection—while flooding the body with cortisol and adrenaline. These stress hormones raise blood pressure, impair memory (via damage to the hippocampus), and weaken the immune system. At the same time, the prefrontal cortex—the center of empathy, judgment, and self-control—gets suppressed, making reactions more impulsive and less rational.
Forgiveness does the opposite. It engages the prefrontal cortex and calms the amygdala, reducing the stress response. Neurochemicals like serotonin and oxytocin are released, promoting emotional stability, connection, and even physical healing. Forgiveness doesn’t just feel good—it rewires the brain for resilience, peace, and long-term well-being.
Good post. Right out of The Book, and as you point out, the Creator’s own Science confirms it!
