Life is too short to hate......

Life is shorter than we think—and too valuable to waste on hate.

In this clip from Four Years a Slave, I sit down with fellow Marine Mortarman and friend Robert Bowman to discuss one of the most important lessons we've learned through life, military service, and experience: carrying resentment and hatred only robs you of time you'll never get back.

We talk about perspective, forgiveness, personal growth, and why so many of the things that divide people ultimately aren't worth sacrificing your peace, happiness, or relationships. Having witnessed how quickly life can change, we reflect on the importance of focusing on what truly matters—family, friendship, purpose, and making the most of the time we're given.

This conversation is a reminder that while disagreements are inevitable, hatred is a choice—and life is simply too short to spend it consumed by negativity.
