Did you know that hating or disliking others is also hating or disliking a part of yourself?

Everything you see, hear, feel, smell, taste, think, and know is all in your head. When you sense (see, hear, whatever) another person and hate them for whatever reason, you are in reality directing your emotions to the *concept* of that person in your head. That concept is modeled with abstract facets of your own psyche; your own experiences and parts of yourself. So just remember, when you hate or are angry at someone, not only are you directing that crap at yourself, but you spend time suffering instead of trying to find beauty and contentment in the moment. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Whatcha think?

    Oh I know, I know. Trouble is, sometimes I undertake certain tasks that immediately remind me of people that were - shall I say - less than generous to me, when undertaking these tasks. It's gotten to the point that I'm reluctant to do these tasks. If these people that I hate so much are really a part of me, then I should find out which part, then have it amputated. Because I hate to hate.

    Hating oneself or hating others makes no difference.

    Hate is the enemy, not people. We are our own obstacle to Peace.

    A defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, in which what is emotionally unacceptable in the self is unconsciously rejected and attributed (projected) to others.
