Destruction is sometimes needed for construction. But if you destroy out of hate, destruction is your ultimate goal, and not a means to an end. If you destroy out of love, then creation becomes your ultimate goal.

Love your hate, lest in hating it you would let it grow. In so doing, however, remember that your hate is, nonetheless, something that is not meant to be, but do not attempt to undo it. Be objective, trying neither to kill it nor to make it grow, but merely observing and enjoying it in the current moment, as nothing more than a merely relative and transient experience.

Moreover, experience it in its context, neither focussing too much upon it nor too little; for hate is an enemy which will attack you in your back lest you are on your guard, but as the Hydra, it will also only grow stronger as you fight it. Instead, then, try to unify and reconcile it with your life, and your life with it. Let it be part of your life as long as it is there.

All emotions are motivated in some way or other by some kind of love; even fear, for if one loved nothing one would have nothing to fear; even hate, for if one did not love to hurt one would have nothing hate; even loathing, for if one did not love that which is opposed to what one loathes, one would have nothing to loathe. Therefore, without love one is emotionless, and that is why love alone, in some form or other, is the only thing that can resolve emotionlessness.

As all emotions have some element of love, the only thing which could be fully opposed to love would be indifference - or not even indifference, as even that can perhaps said to be an emotion sometimes. Rather, then, the only thing we could call it is unlove; that which falls towards lower levels of beauty, closer to nothingness, whereas love strives towards greater beauty, closer to infinity.

Light is love. In this it is merciful, even for the dark. Love spares what it loves, even if it hurts; only hate can destroy. While light may increase positive things, it may not decrease negative things; only darkness can decrease negative things, though it cannot increase positive things. Day casts light both on that which is beautiful and that which is ugly, or is seen as such; night hides both in darkness.
Of course, what is good or bad depends entirely on one's perception, but what perception is good or bad itself, as well, depends on one's perception of it in turn. Positive and negative are entirely subjective, as are all things.
If in the eternity of time, aught has achieved to become one with the Universe or even near, then its infinite light must love all people and all things in the Universe for it to exist at all, and so it does not seek to change them; not even oblivion, chaos, suffering, ignorance, or lack of free will. If there is a God, then God is infinite love, love for everything, even all the things that we hate, and even for our hate of those things, and for our hate of our hate and so on.
For love has not the strength to undo that upon which it shines its light; and hate has not the strength to become one with the universe, for if it would do so it would come to hate itself and destroy itself.
In an infinite universe all things already are. Changing such a universe would mean to remove something from it, for one cannot add anything to it. It therefore removes nothing from existence as that would make it less complete

In this God loves hatred, suffering, darkness and emptiness as much as love, happiness, light and beauty. If one loves something, one will not change it; if one loves all the Universe, then so too one will not change it. In this there is nothing that separates God from the Devil; God is not just good or evil, but both, or else neither.
For us, even if there is a God, there might not be any God for ourselves. It makes no difference to us at all whether there is or not, unless we follow it to become one with the Universe ourselves.
Universal love means universal mercy. But what does mercy really mean? In the epics where Good battles against Evil, it has often been shown how, while the evil side spares no-one, when the good side prevails it has mercy for evil side. Whatever deeds have been committed by the evil side are often forgiven by the good side; the evildoers, even their leaders, are imprisoned, banished, or converted, but rarely killed. This is so not because the good side happens to have such inclination to forgiveness, but because that is what defines is as the good side.
If one had the perception that everything is beautiful, one would change nothing at all, not even things that hurt oneself or others. Only through love can one become infinite, for one would otherwise flee from that infinity. There is nothing that could become one with the Universe, and thereby become the Universe, without loving it altogether as it is.
Such is the bane of God's love.

If you hate yourself, you can never be happy because you will not allow it, and only when you love yourself will you think yourself worthy of happiness.

Hatred is a contagious disease: if you hate someone you will often make them hate you. War, which feeds on hatred, is therefore an epidemic, and fighting war with war is fighting fire with fire.
