If ye despise the human race, and mortal arms, yet remember that there is a God who is mindful of right and wrong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
From my example learn to be just, and not to despise the gods.
The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.
We may fight against what is wrong, but if we allow ourselves to hate, that is to insure our spiritual defeat and our likeness to what we hate.
If you love God, you can't hate anything or anyone. If the love one offers is met with hate, it doesn't die, rather it manifests in the form of compassion. That is universal love. It is not just a sentiment. It cannot be manifested merely by a shift in mental disposition. It can only come from inner cleaning, an inner awakening.
When you use God as an excuse to hate people and you use God as an excuse to cut people down, first of all, I think it's insulting to God.
I don't despise people.
Generally, I tend to despise human behavior rather than human creatures.
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
I don't feel that as human beings we have an obligation to dislike someone based on their beliefs, and it's OK to have a human reaction to someone even if you feel what they do is hideous and objectionable. You can still enjoy their company and find them interesting to be around.
I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
