“Despite all the positive psychological attributes of hatred we have outlined, hatred destroys finally the core of the life of the hater. While it lasts, burning in white heat, its effect seems positive and dynamic. But at last it turns to ash, for it guarantees a final isolation from one’s fellows. It blinds the individual to all values of worth, even as they apply to himself and to his fellows. Hatred bears deadly and bitter fruit. It is blind and nondiscriminating.” LoveHateJesusJusticePowerSocial JusticeDiscriminationPowerlessPowerlessnessClassicism Book:Jesus and the Disinherited Source: Jesus and the Disinherited

He affirmed life; and hatred was the great denial.” MindSpiritFatherJesusSawsHatredDenialRejectedCommunion Book:Jesus and the Disinherited Source: Jesus and the Disinherited
