Have we forgotten the deeds like, kindness, helping, caring and humility? Hate cannot drive out hate. We all know, no problem of human relations is ever insoluble. The good always outnumbers intolerant. We can convert intolerance into tolerance by carrying out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward. This attitude can be developed by meditation. Yes, Meditation can help us rise above negativity and keep clear of energy that weighs us down.
Keep Meditating.
