The following is by Dr. Alan Godlas. Hatred tries to move to Unity by annihilating difference, either by attempting to destroy the other through murder, total subjugation and control of the other, or by expressing barrages of rage; or as unconscious self-directed hatred that attempts to destroy one’s own individuality through suicide or through self-repression in the service of ‘group think’ such as in blind patriotism or cultic identification. Love, on the other hand, meaning mature loving on the way to ever-increasing intimacy, uns, savours each moment of difference or similarity, outwardly recognising difference or similarity, while inwardly embracing, with a sip of unconditional gratitude, the discomfort of separation or the joy of union, whichever one appears, from one moment to the next.
