Dear Silent Rossi:

“I have a deep hatred for humans. I think I had it ever since school or earlier, when I became target of fox hunt among my peers for the crime of being different… I think that hatred is my friend. It helped me make sense of the collapsing world, it protected me from wrongdoers.. The only way it affects other people is by depriving them of my company”-

-so hatred for humans is your friend because humans are the enemy. Hating the enemy (staying away) is keeping you safer than if you loved the enemy (if the fox loved the hunters and no longer stayed away by running, it would get killed).

“My choice for compassion and peace has nothing to do with hatred. Having experienced abuse, I do not wish to walk the path of my tormentors…  I don’t think that hatred and compassion contradict themselves“- let’s say that you have a relationship with a woman for the first time in your life, something  you said that you are interested in (“I have never held a girl’s hand. I’d like to change that”, original post), how does the hate and compassion look and sound like, in the context of the relationship? Do you stay away when you feel hate, approach when you feel compassion?
