Hi,
I am new to this board, my name is 4hope. I felt compelled to comment on this issue of hate. From my own experience and from what I've read about this, forgiveness is the key to release the guilt. In fact, forgiveness is an act of self love. It free's the person from hate, bitterness and resentments, thereby allowing room for the person to heal. When we fester hate or resentments this is carried over to our loved ones and we can become exactly what we hate. This hate will not harm anyone but the person who is stuffing it away. Forgiveness allows us to cleanse ourselves of the toxic emotions of hate and gives one a feeling of acceptance and serenity. We cannot change the past, but we can change the way we view things and how we process what happened. We are all basically here to survive life, with its many hills and valleys and some of us along the way are hateful, but that hate will be your hate if you choose it to be, or that hate can be relinqushed with forgiveness.
Peace and love
4hope
