We Aren’t Born To Hate (Haiku)

We aren’t born to hate

Instead it is something learned

    So true. Only thing we seem born to hate are vegetables.

      Oh the poor vegetables…I for one love them both with dip and just raw. I ate about a dozen raw radishes that I grew in my garden yesterday with my lunch. I guess I’m just weird. :)

        Love radishes, but vegetables always seem to be enjoyed later in life. As a kid, I didn’t trust them.

        I suppose as kids most of us went through this, lets face it, veggies aren’t what kids would call fun food. :)

        Especially since you get introduced to them alongside fruit. Veggies can’t compare to fruit.

        You are right, I hadn’t thought about that, but it does make a great deal of sense.

    The most natural instinct we have is love yet some choose to educate the mind against that – I can never quite get my head round why. Nicely said my friend x

      Thank you, I really don’t understand it either. There isn’t any excuse for this, but it has plagued human kind since time began and I guess it will continue on long after we are gone. Sad.

      Thank you my friend, I just wish I didn’t feel the need to say it.

      Yes it is I’m sorry to say.
