Guide to Recognizing Haters is a compendium created with the guidance of the word of God. I began this quest because no matter how blessed my life was, I was unhappy. I could not, for the life of me, understand or even see why, as the truth was hard to recognize and even more difficult to accept. My soul cried out to God, as I was trapped and yearned to be free. I had hitherto submitted, heart and mind, to a coterie version of Stockholm Syndrome. I openly expressed feelings of trust and affection toward the subjugators who used my love for them as a weapon against me. Unfortunately, my anger and distrust were aimed at any and every one who were against my beloveds. I prayed to our heavenly Father for clarity and discernment. Before long, I learned how to recognize the haters in my life who masqueraded as cherished friends and loving family. God revealed these things with undeniable clarity: Unbeknownst to me for decades, I struggled for acceptance from people who, frankly, did absolutely nothing to improve their own lives—other than complain. Yet, for that lot, my efforts were never quite good enough. I shared my hopes and goals for the future with folks who never did more than the bare minimum. These people often discouraged my dreams and aspirations. All the more so, I strove to impress my so-called mentors; the people to which I entrusted my counsel and tutelage. As I celebrated my successes with said people, I realized they wanted me to do well, just not better than them. That kind of tainted support is not love. The bible itemizes everything love is, does, is not, and does not do. Accordingly, I began with prayer, seconded by education which was quickly followed up with observation. Fortified with my new perspicacity, clarity, comprehension, and discernment I could not believe who my haters turned out to be. I tested my theories time and time again. Alas, the disappointingly stagnating facts rang true again and again. No matter how much I admired and adored my beloved haters, I gathered my strength, retired my rose-colored glasses, and recognized them for who they really were. In this guidebook I will reveal the undercover traits of closet haters. You will learn how to recognize the truth and clearly identify the haters in your world, one by one, as I did in mine. Armed with the some very prudent truths, I made changes. A hush settled over my world as my life filled with quiet absence of hate. I had created a more peaceful existence at last. I will show you how I did it step by step. My next book, LOVE: From the Safest Distance Possible, I reveal every lesson I learned about the biblical perspicacity of love, discernment and selectivity. True love in its purest form flows from God. Love is then reciprocated and passed forward to self and from self to others where love is freely interchanged. You will be amazed at what you would never be inclined to tolerate in the name of love, once you first love yourself. The love of one’s self is paramount to ensure a peaceful joyous existence. This book will help you embark with great expectation on your expedition of love. I am happy to share in detail exactly how I achieved a happy life filled with love.
