Hatred is not only a vice, but a vice which goes point-blank against Nature. Hatred divides instead of joining and frustrates God's will in human society. One man is born to help another. Hatred makes us destroy one another. Love unites-hatred separates. Love is beneficial-hatred is destructive. Love succors even strangers, hatred destroys the most intimate friendship. Love fills all hearts with joy, hatred ruins all those who possess it. Nature is bountiful, hatred is pernicious. It is not hatred, but mutual love, that holds all mankind together.

(Seneca)
