I know it consumes but it is so hard to release “hate” from my emotions. Sigh

Hate is not productive in any term short or long. It creates a condition where terrible things are done that cannot be justified.

Hate certainly isn’t a productive emotion. Nobody gains anything. It becomes invasive, kinda like the corona virus and all its variants.
I read somewhere, long ago, that what we most “hate” in someone else are our own worst faults. Food for thought.

“… our own worst faults.” That is an excellent statement! And quite possibly true.

Very true! It’s difficult to not hate the haters though.

It truly is. But if we give in it makes us just like them.

I love that wise little amendment at the end dear lady. We do need that emotion like all others so we can see and feel what it does…so we can truly understand and appreciate its opposite side…love.
We need to experience them all or we will not understand what they mean and act accordingly 😀

If we lose one emotion that throws the balance off of the others. I may not understand it but I think we need to have them all.
