What the fuck is wrong with you? Earlier today, you assassinated your own brother? You are developing nuclear weapons capable of killing millions? You starve your own people? You continuously execute your opponents? Is this your way of showing love? I don’t think so. This is never the way you show love. Such things are always evil. I don’t think you have any love in you. I’m told not to think this way. I’m told to think positively. I’m told to see the best in people. You are supposedly made in the image of God. Quite frankly, I don’t see how. I think you’re a monster. Does that make God a monster? I guess monsterizing someone is always the first step away from God. If I can’t love you, then I can’t know God…for you are God’s image. To say that I’ve wrestled with this truth for a long time is an understatement. I’ve racked my brain to try to find another way. There is no other way. ‘I love you’ is it. So…I love you.
