Hate is one of the most toxic emotions - it consumes more of the hater than the hated.
Living with hate poisons the mind, distorts perception and traps a person in cycles of anger and bitterness.
The more you hold onto it, the more it drains your peace and your health, leaving little space for joy, love or growth. #nostr #psychology #coffeechain
All emotions serve a purpose.
None are inherently “toxic”. The toxicity is in the way they are mishandled.
Hatred is immensely important for protecting what you value.
For instance, if you didn’t hate evil, you would let in into your life and it would destroy what you love.
To love a value is to hate what threatens it.
If you have no hate, you have no values worth protecting.
In the same way, people who don’t feel pain are in endless danger because they cannot identify it.
