If this is what I do, then silence is preferable. You can rest easy.
Anger, is a sign of hate. But though I have been angry at so many times, I can also remember an equal no. of cases of flattering myself that I have never hated anyone.
But then, perhaps people have never really existed in my life!
I may have spent all my life chasing after ghosts and phantoms.
I have only dealt with my subjective ideas of who people are and what they do and say. I have never met the people themselves.
But do you in fact, exist? Can we know the other in itself? Here I see, lies the bedrock of hate, and anger.
Cain slew Abel on this rock. Nimrod built his empire here, and so has Man built empire after empire on it!
Cain slew Abel out of his convictions about goodness. If all things came from a good God, why were there bad things in life? And would God still be good if Cain took him all the bad harvests? What if he got rid of his brother's goodness?
Afterall, why was Cain angry? 'Am I my brother's keeper?'
Does the brother even exist? Does a good God exist? Or any God, at all?
It is this very reason that made Dorian Grey to tear his portrait. Did the man in the portrait really exist? And if he did exist why was there fear and pain in him?
In all these cases, the individual is perceived as an image of God.
So even Cain must doubt his existence, and must fear that others will kill him.
If he doesn't kill himself like Dorian did, or as is supposed; as Hitler did.
All destruction is therefore, self destruction.
That is, hate is a sickness of the soul caused by a failure to access the other, and therefore to be accessed.
One is now left to be haunted by his ghosts, and in reaction, the haunted begins to haunt the ghosts in others. As I have done to @Lolest. Please forgive me.
If there's a connection between love and hate, then it is one of intention.
They all aspire to the same destination, but one has no compass and is lost.
