I used to hate a lot, but I examined my reasons for why I hated people and I found that they weren't really good reasons. Although if you come from an abusive upbringing, or are still being abused by someone, I would say that's a good reason to hate someone . It depends on if there is still anything you still value and want to preserve in your life. I don't think it's possible to completely eradicate hatred within yourself, but it's possible to reduce it. I tend to hate what people stand for more than I hate people.
