nothing, but your implication was that it was not in your nature to hate... it is a universal human emotion/reaction, and no, I didn't find castille's definition to be woefully off base, vengance is afterall the basis of christianity...

hate is not a problem, it is a tool...

I disagree, I believe there are people who can see beyond hate and thus not really 'hate'. Hate is a weakness which blinds. Hate as tool has the nasty property of turning against the one wielding it. Read any of Orson Scott Card's books and you'll know what I mean.

I also believe man can be taught not to hate. Or I should say rationalize the hate. Acknowledge where it is coming from and thus removing the power of the 'hate'. Hate accomplishes nothing.

To quote yoda: Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
