I hear you and I feel somewhat guilty. I want to hate the sin and love the sinner, but I can’t help it; I’m only human. I hate this man, if he is a man.

My sister is a devout Christian and a gentle person. I said to her recently, Isn’t it wrong to hate this man and she said, Well............

I don’t like it either but that’s how I feel and as a Buddhist I’m supposed to look at that as it is without accepting it or rejecting it. With most emotions that wears them out until the object in question no longer causes them to arise and I can then look at that object as it is and not how I feel about it. But this clown re-inflames my emotions on a daily basis. lol

Many years ago, long before I was Buddhist, I concluded that I didn’t really have hate for anyone although I certainly hated the actions of many. 0bama has shown me that my instinct was correct now that I know how it really feels.

Maybe someday I will thank him for forcing me to deal with this emotion I used to think I didn’t have the capacity to generate. But I think I will always despise him for trying to destroy our country even if I get past the hate.
