In most cases "hate" is an inappropriate word.

In most cases the word resent is probably more appropriate.

Jealousy, or uncertainty relative to change or difference, are often  the causes of resentment.

I would suggest that hatred is a more profound psychological disturbance, and therefore manifestly more irrational.

I submit that the most powerful weapon is hate's opposite: love. It overwhelms with the the potential result that an enemy becomes a friend.
those motivated by hate seem to be the most vocal, perhaps that alters the overall perception.  though I think people tend to act out more strongly due to hate/anger than love.

Jealousy and resentment and FEAR are necessary precursors to (often misdirected) HATE.

[HATE] ...is the weapon of last resort when all other worthy weapons have failed to overwhelm a declared enemy...
HATE is the most powerful weapon of the powerless.

Loving your oppressors is exactly what they want you to do.

Do not confuse love with acceptance or condoning of behavior. Love the sinner. Hate the sin; the sin is not your neighbor, who must be loved regardless. That is why love is more powerful, always, than hate.

What are we if not a collection of our actions (reactions)?

Dispelling FEAR is even easier than that book implies.

All you need to do is investigate the Classical Problem of Identity.

We are a collection of our body parts, our spirit, and, by the new covenant, we are also a collection of our thoughts

To everyone else, we are merely a collection of our quantifiable actions.

Intentions and thoughts and spirit are unverifiable QUALIA.

So, anything unverifiable is ignored? Like the Green New Deal? Fine; ignore it.

Everything that is unverifiable (unfalsifiable) (empirically and or logically) is INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM OPINION.

When exploring a logical framework, it is important to clearly distinguish between FACT and OPINION.

Having a daddy with $200 mil in the bank is also a relevant variable from the early life to be fair.

That's true, just look how Michael Jackson's kids turned out. Oh, wait...
