Quote:
Hate, as a mode of guilt or of pride, generates destructive thoughts (but at a lesser intensity than paranoia). Antithetical thoughts, when directed to other people, represent pride ; when directed to oneself, represent guilt. [¹]. At a much lesser intensity of denigration, criticisms of other people represent jealousy, whilst criticisms of myself arise from my sense of idealism.

Hate gets bandied about quite frequently in posts here. I found that hating often accompanied anger and resentment. I hated it when people were critical or when despite my best efforts things did not turn out as I wanted. Took a lot of effort to understand hate is a waste of resources that solves nothing and has the potential to make matters worse.
John R. "Jack" Schafer, Ph.D., has some thoughts on hate:

Another thought: "Hate is like acid. It can damage the vessel in which it is stored as well as destroy the object on which it is poured." ~Ann Landers
I still have intense dislike for some. I am working on it.
I wish you well.
