Hate is ugly.
One of my chat buddies just asked me what I hate. I can't come up with anything I actively hate. There are plenty of things I dislike or could live without but nothing I can come up with that I actually actively hate.
I don't hate my father any more. I see him for what he is, an abusive alcoholic who can't admit he's been wrong, and I choose not to have him in my life for my own emotional/mental health, but I don't hate him.
I also don't hate my ex-husband (Mini-me's father) any more either. I used to, then I decided he wasn't worth the emotional energy I was expending to hate him, and became rather indifferent about him.
I could certainly live contentedly the rest of my life never hearing from either of them again, but I can't say I hate either of them any more.
I dislike some foods. Intolerance pisses me off and puzzles me. Child abusers and rapists merit only contempt.
But I can't for all the tea in China come up with anything I truly hate.
