When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hatred is corrosive of a person's wisdom and conscience; the mentality of enmity can poison a nation's spirit, instigate brutal life and death struggles, destroy a society's tolerance and humanity, and block a nation's progress to freedom and democracy.
Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings.
Hatred is self-punishment.
During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism.
Sometimes people think I'm sort of a Machiavelli who is thinking, 'How can I disarm people? I know: I'll create a persona; I'll get some spectacles, and when I meet you, I'll say, 'How are you doing?' And I will be very unassuming and polite and never get angry.'
Let your enemies be disarmed by the gentleness of your manner, but at the same time let them feel, the steadiness of your resentment.
Hatred is inveterate anger.
When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.
Reject hatred without hating.
If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.
