Thanks for sharing your perspective. I know about all of this forgiveness stuff one always reads & hears about. But, personally, I don't think there's any reason why a person would not hate someone or something (such as a culture) that heaped abuse on the person. Personally I still hate all of the people who were involved in the abuse I struggled through (including all of those who stood by & watched or in some cases even blamed me for it.)

Yes, I suppose there is a point where the hatred can become so toxic it interferes with one's life. And in such a case perhaps it's best to try to work through it, perhaps with the help of a mental health professional. But beyond that I would say how you feel about what was done to you, & the culture from which it arose, makes perfect sense to me.
