Sometimes passion can be used to further positive agendas. It is a passion that can be steared and directed if harnessed wisely. Hate is not necessarily a bad thing. I hate racists, cruel people, murderers and rapists, etc. I hate seeing innocent people harmed. I hate injustice. I hate companies and governments who are ripping off those who are weak, poor, unable to defend themselves, etc. It drives me to stand up and defend myself and others who can not do it for themselves. Without hate there is no love. Yin/yang.

I never knew I was capable of hate until trump and his vile administration came in. What makes it even more disgusting is that I do not hate my father who abused me in any way that a person can abuse another person. I do not like my father at all but I do not hate him. Trump I hate, loathe, despise, and any other word that describes hate.
