I am not ashamed to feel hatred.
Whether a person hates at times or not is not what makes a person valuable or spiritually 'advanced'.
This is not one of the important qualities, and such hatred often will actually occur as a result of expressing truly important qualities, while others betray.
When people try to cut you down for being "bitter" or "hateful" they're just trying to manipulate and control, they're just trying to get a grip of superiority. They're being defensive. It is as with the argument that one is being "judgmental". Judgments are a part of life, and we all make and excuse our own judgments.... like when we judge someone for being judgmental. Not to defend any particular philosophies, but it's curious how people will call others' philosophies "hate speech", as if it has some special meaning.. but then hate them for it. So you see, they set up hatred as a special stigma whereby they essentially can portray a person as less spiritually advanced for showing, and then they manipulate this portrayal to whatever advantage. They do not consider themselves to be the backwards, uncivilized man because they put on a facade of being temperate, upright, astute, level-headed, someone who would not succumb to such a 'primitive' thing as anger, and whether or not they have anger quickly becomes a new arguing point without even questioning whether it matters. But they have their own hatred too, and can't hide it from me.
Focusing on being a more forgiving, less "judgmental" (whatever that means) person is a false path of spirituality that will not lead to any meaningful answers. We have seen religious and spiritual leaders, gurus and teachers from all around the world repeatedly drill into us these concepts, and they have been widely dispersed among the people, and yet they have done nothing, and never even seem to work right. Some might argue that we are too puny to reliably live up to them, but if you pay close attention at all times, you can see the carrot and stick, you can see why they don't work, and why they're not called for, and why trying to force them into situations that aren't right only adds to the problem.
Why is it this way?
Why is hatred something we have a tendency to feel guilt about?
Why does that sort of psychology exist about it?
I'm really not sure, I hadn't put that much thought into it, I might have to contemplate this.
I don't feel guilty about my hatred, it's there for a reason, and most rancorously in defense of those characteristics which are truly valuable, and which I do not want to distract from with false spiritual paths.
