Reply #134: Anger or hatred?

[goodgd_yall]

I get tired of anger, but not hatred. I hate * and his minions (Rumsfeld, Rove, Gonzales, and numerous others, anyone who doesn't give a damn about the poor, the working poor, the future) and that is always with me. I feel anger intermittenly; it sometimes is righteous and other times felt for more personal, unrecovered reasons. I can't hold on to anger; it will wear me out and poison my relationships. Hate is more of a decision and involves rejection. I can hate and not act on it, that is, not do harm to the object of my hate. That's how I see it anyway.
