HATRED
The word ‘hatred’ has many synonyms. Some of them are dislike;
ill-ill; enmity; hostility; grudge; malice; bitterness and antagonism.
And some of the antonyms of hatred are
love; affection; acceptance; praise; admiration
and fondness.
Hatred is vicious. It is wicked not
only in respect of people but also such ideas, theories and philosophies with which
you do not agree. It is harmful for your health because it produces anger which
is hurtful for your heart.
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.
This is what Frederick William
Robertson (1816-1853) says: I will tell
you what to hate: Hate hypocrisy; hate cant; hate intolerance; oppression;
injustice; Pharisaism; hate them as Christ hated them---with a deep abiding,
God-like hatred,
British poet Lord Byron (1788-1824) believes that
hatred is the madness of the heart.
To conclude, the following words of Lord
Buddha: “ Hatred does not cease to be hatred, but only by love; this is the
eternal rule.”
