(Fear, Outrage & Grievance), it's time we find a better way to engage. That all starts with each of us as individuals. We cannot control all that we encounter within our day to day lives, or the environment in which we live, but we certainly have the ability and responsibility to control how we react to it. For me, it starts with gratitude and personal accountability. Take a listen and see if there is something here to help you in taking your part in turning down the hate.

Episode 3: Perpetually Offended
Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Wilk here again from Wilksworld.com and in Episode 3 we are talking about those who are perpetually offended and how that makes for a toxic and unhappy person. I dropped in a little plug for our apparel line, Failed Understanding Apparel, as this is one of the ways we like to springboard a dialogue between people of opposing views. We all know one, if not multiple people who seem to be perpetually offended. A happy society must be a tolerant society, and those who are perpetually offended are neither tolerant nor happy, but use their perpetually offended mentality in an attempt to manipulate the feelings and actions of those which they disagree. In this week's "Good Deed" segment I talk about a teenage sophmore named Hita Gupta in Pennsylvania that has taken to providing care packages to the elderly in care homes during this pandemic, packages which include puzzles, adult coloring books and handwritten notes from her nine year old brother. Things like this are so inspiring and show such unbelievable selflessness, I wanted to share her GoFundMe Page in hopes of getting her some more support for this amazing thing she's doing for the seniors that are currently stuck in isolation. Please give us a listen, subscribe, share and leave some feedback!As always, be kind to each other, be grateful for what you've got, and remember, it's up to you to make each day what you want it to be. Thank you!!The world is a better place if we are better people. That begins with each of us as individuals. Be kind to one another. Be grateful for all you’ve got.

Episode 2 Please, Thank you, and the importance of Gratitude
Send Wilk a text with your feedback!In our second episode, I continue on my journey into learning how to use my podcast equipment and I'm hoping we've made slight progress from episode one. There is very little in life quite so important to one's happiness as being grateful. Teaching your children to say please and thank you is an essential part of gratitude and gratitude is an essential part of being a happy person. This is all essential in helping to turn down the hate. From all of us at Wilksworld.com and the Deratethehate.com podcast, thank you for listening, be kind to one another, be grateful for what you've got, and remember, it's up to you to make each day what you want it to be...For more from Wilk, please check out Wilksopinion.com or get in touch with us on Facebook or Instagram.Please subscribe, share, and leave a comment if you like what you hear...The world is a better place if we are better people.

Episode 1 What Hate Is, What Is Not Hate
Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Inaugural episode of the Derate The Hate podcast. Hello, Wilk from WilksWorld.com here and this is my first attempt at doing a podcast, and that comes through loud and clear on our first episode. I'm just trying to figure out my equipment and get over how I sound when I'm not talking, because it's not at all how it sounds in my head as I'm saying it. All things considered, we're hoping our content provides some value, as our ultimate goal is Bettering the World, One Attitude at a Time. In this first episode, I go briefly into what hate is and what is not hate. This is obviously too broad a topic to cover in this short episode, but it is just a taste of more to come. Mostly we will be discussing how we can better get along as individuals in hopes of making a broader and bigger difference in the world. Thank you for joining me, please subscribe and comment with what you think. Thanks again!The world is a better place if we are better people. That begins with each of us as individuals. Be kind to one another. Be grateful for all you’ve got. Make every day the day that you want it to be!
