HATRED
HATRED
Some of the synonyms of hatred are : dislike, hostility, ill-will, enmity, grudge,
antipathy and antagonism.
None of these traits is desirable to
be cherished by any human being.
Hatred is poisonous. It kills the joy of him who hates and of him
who is hated.
Saints do not permit hatred. They recommend love even towards those who
hate you, if you have any quality which they dislike for any religious or secular
reason.
Someone rightly said hate no one;
hate their vices, not themselves.
According to
French novelist Balzac (1799-1850) hatred is the vice of narrow souls; they feed it with all their littleness,
and make it the pretext of base tyrannies.
English divine F.W. Robertson
(1816-53) permits the hatred of vices
like hypocrisy, intolerance, oppression and injustice,
What is really disallowed by the right-minded thinkers are
ugly traits which make human beings disagreeable characters. They disallow the hatred of fellow human
beings for any reason whatsoever. Hate
the sin, not the sinner is their motto, and that is O.K.
