The things you love about others are the things you love about yourself. The things you hate about others are the things you cannot see in yourself.
That's why my favorite verse from the Bible -- I am a God-believing individual, and the Bible is the book of my wisdom, and I often debate which is my favorite verse, but I have to say, at this time, my favorite verse is, "Those of you who love God, must hate evil." It is an actual -- It is a scriptural directive. If you don't hate evil, you don't love God. Okay? It's simple as that. And so there's a directive to hate evil.
“Hatred (is) a cancer in the mind. Hatred (is) an acid eating away the soul”
On and on it goes until before the coming of Christ, the nation has divided into tribes. Why did this division into tribes finally take place? Obviously their philosophies are so clashing, their enmity toward each other is so vicious, they simply cannot stand each other. Their narratives and justifications for this hatred were well practiced, their justifications perfect. The Nephites dissenters are more violent and ferocious against their own country than are the Lamanites. Unfortunately, a nation full of hatred and division becomes ripe for foreign invasion.
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
