I think hate is fear to the extreme...fear x10. When we feel we have no way out and are powerless to be set free, so we go into overdrive for survival and self preservation. We feel victim to others. No way out while still preserving a "connection" with that or those we hate.

I think if we can get to the fear part and work on that, the hate goes away...letting us soar. Or at least keep moving forward. Hate is so paralyzing and destructive to self. The only one it hurts is ouselves because of the symptoms. And I think it empowers the subject that brought us to that point.

Jmho.
