***you wrote"“I permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.” — Booker T. Washington

None can make you hate, that is a choice you make....Hate and love are both strong emotions, indifference is the opposite of hate and love....

I permit no one to dictate my reaction to anything. that is why I am hard to insult....an "insult" is just one persons opinion..

But scripture also says there is a time to love and a time to hate...

I have found that hate leads to bitterness and bitterness really sucks. Fell into that once as a young woman until I learned how to get rid of it..Since then I have not experienced hating anyone, but have been indifferent many times....(hope this doesn't sound too convoluted)
