I Love Haters - was the bumpersticker

At first I didn't care to work on the motorcycle, but I did - with the same care and attention as any other. But the sticker kept bugging me.

Suddenly I understood the message. The mistake of judging others, of lending my values and standards as right for others made me the hater.

I looked at the sticker again, and despite its wording, read the message: To show love to those who hate is to be what they are not.

Needless to say, what made someone an a**hole and a good man in the same day was up to me all along.

I had much trouble with one that proclaimed: "Nuke the unborn gay whales for Jesus".

Somehow it made the rest of my two hour drive seem shorter, but I still haven't been able to wrap my head around it for three years. But it was memorable.
