"There is nothing more evil than hate. Long years of good work can
go to waste because of a single spasm of hate. You may have spent a long time
cultivating a relationship, and one day you become confused and perceive that
friend is an enemy to your happiness. You suddenly explode in anger, lose
control, and hurt your friend verbally or physically. We hear about this every
day in circumstances ranging from domestic violence to all-out war. Enemy: when
you look closely, you see that this person is not filled with intrinsic
hatefulness. You realize that this man was the helpless pawn of his greed; that
this man was trapped in his fear; and hence he acted out toward you. But you
should not hate him in return; you should feel compassion for him."
~Robert Thurman
