I don't advocate the feeling- I just FEEL it. I can't make myself feel it anymore than I can make myself not feel it. I agree with you that I feel it when I see injustice. But I don't advocate cultivating it anymore than I advocate squashing the feeling or pretending it doesn't exist. I don't act on it, though, at least not in the ways "hateful" people are frequently supposed to act on feelings of hate. I examine what I feel hate for, and if I think my hate is rational I speak out against what I think is hateful. In that sense hate is useful, neither good nor bad, just useful. Like love is useful. Not all love is good. Even love needs to be examined. Love that is detrimental to one's well being and happiness should not be acted upon (imo). It does not make love a bad thing. IT does not make feeling it a bad thing.
