Hatred is settled anger.
There have been a few people I have hated and still do.
The trick is not to let it rule your life.

I don't know if it's a fine line, but I can say I honestly despise, detest, and loathe a few people...most from past government administrations, a couple of ass-hats in the aviation industry that have done some heinous things to destroy the profession, and a couple of people with whom I've worked in past careers. HATE them? No, but the emotions stated may be pretty close...

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

You try and take those from me and you would be right in the ball park of hate.

Edited to add, I agree with TigerDore, but it’s tough, the Democrat/Socialist/Liberals/Antifa/BLM crowd is really pissing me off with the way they want to destroy our country.

I may hate their actions and condemn the same, but I don't hate the person, as much as they might seek to drive me down into that morass.

Yes.

I had one one my list for over half a century, but Mr. Death took care of that one. Another came up and took that spot.

So, I am thankful of a short list, but prefer the empty list, and hope the second quick steps off the planet and waves at the turtles...

I have found what works for me personally is to 'not be powerless'. In other words, if I feel someone is touchable, I then have a choice, even if it is something stupid. Then, I am no longer powerless and once that is established, I have found I can then easily move on from it and even forget about it.



I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11

...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

Yes and if murder was merely a social faux pas instead of a crime, I’d go to sleep with a warm fuzzy feeling.

Anger, yes, contempt and disdain, hate takes a lot of work and is wasted energy, if I reach the point of hate I've failed myself.

Capable: Certainly.

Willing: No.

Hate, real hate, requires too much effort.

No less than three people in my life deserve the deepest, darkest, most unrelenting hate, but what the fuck for? It just eats at you, wastes time and energy, increases stress, and harshes my mellow, mann.

Yes. And I do.

We all are capable. If you're capable of love, you are equally capable of hate. There's no love without hate.

Even God. God loves. God hates.

Psalm 11:5
The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

And there are many, many more.

The hated are redeemable. But until they are redeemed, hate is justifiable.

You must love your brother, says the Bible. But you certainly do not have to like him.

Yes, there are individuals known personally to me who will make the world a better place when they cease consuming oxygen.

I wish I wasn’t capable but unfortunately I am. There are a few select individuals that fit into that category for me unfortunately. Also unfortunate is that one of the people that I truly hate is someone that I have to deal with every day at work.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I knew a woman professed to hate no one, but she kept a list of people she planned to bite if she ever contracted rabies.

^^This. Hate and unforgiveness is a cancer that affects only the one who holds onto it. Let it go and live in peace.
