I wonder if these missionaries ever thought how Christ was so continually substituting affirmations for the ‘Thou shalt nots’ of the Old Testament. ‘To love one’s neighbor as oneself’ is certainly harder, but states life so much more actively, gladly, and kindly, that you can begin to see some pleasure in it.

Inside the terminal at Keahole, they sat waiting to board, watching husky Hawaiians load luggage onto baggage ramps. Arriving tourists smiled at their dark, muscled bodies, handsome full-featured faces, the ease with which they lifted things of bulk and weight. Departing tourists took snapshots of them. 'That's how they see us', Pono whispered. 'Porters, servants. Hula Dancers, clowns. They never see us as we are, complex, ambiguous, inspired humans.' 'Not all haole see us that way...'Jess argued. Vanya stared at her. 'Yes, all Haole and every foreigner who comes here puts us in one of two categories: The malignant stereotype of vicious, drunken, do-nothing kanaka and their loose-hipped, whoring wahine. Or, the benign stereotype of the childlike, tourist-loving, bare-foot, aloha-spirit natives.

compassion and love and respect. After all, once you realize that you are equal to your neighbor, you will love and respect your neighbor because your neighbor is a part of you. We are all part of each other. Hawaiians like to say, “Respect your fellow man, and they shall respect you back,” and that recognition that we’re all in this together is a big part of aloha. In many ways, aloha is essentially the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Even a wave. Now on the other hand bye/goodbyes are one of the worlds hardest and the most saddest tings to ever do... Yeah surly there is the same amount of ways to say it but yet it's ALWAYS the hardest. Gets you to thinking huh?? A lot of people ask, 'well why is it the hardest thing to say?', well of course it's easy to say it to someone you just meet but to say it to a loved one or someone you care about deeply it's one of the hardest thing ever to say.

Most mainlanders were under the impression that aloha was the word used for both “hello” and “goodbye.” But the article stated it was much more, that aloha meant “love,” “peace,” and “compassion.” More than a word, a life of aloha meant the heart was overflowing, and when using it, one should be sincerely happy to see the person they said it to.

Here I am, on the island that I love, with the people that I love, worshiping the God that I love. That might sound cheesy, but I don’t care. It’s true, and it’s one of the best feelings in the world.

Many of the missionaries condemned the whole Hawaiian culture as pagan and heathen. They failed to see the good qualities in it, for example: the concepts of aloha (agape love – unconditional love), the cities of refuge and ho‘oponopono (atoning for wrong and the forgiving of offenses). The missionaries did not realize that this would later become a problem. This automatic rejection of Hawaiian cultural concepts caused confusion, a loss of identity, low self esteem and a subtle resentment in many of their Hawaiian converts. This, in turn, became one of the major underlying causes of the future rebellion of many Hawaiians against Christ. The stage was being set for their return to the gods of Pa‘ao.

None.” The way she used humor and spoke with such strength, all while in her sarong and long hair flowing down to her elbows, really inspired me and influenced how I perform. I loved how she didn’t try to repress her beauty or femininity in order to appear more authoritative.

I had never been so moved by a single speaker. Then I gained five more pounds because fuck it.
