> "Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die"

only true if the hate is affecting your life and taking over you




Hate, almost by definition, is similar to love: you make your happiness dependent on the state of someone else.

If hate is not affecting your life, it's not hate.


you can hate someone but not act or let it bother you. its just that its super easy / common for people to let hate affect their life. Hate can also be channeled in a positive healthy way. I got out of a shitty life situation by channeling my hate towards my studies and self improvement to get the financial and logistical means to leave.
