Thank you for sharing that. The line at the beginning of the last paragraph jumps out at me. "This great experience that released me from the bondage of hatred and replaced it with love is really just another affirmation of the truth I know..." Having really experienced hatred first-hand, the nearly obsessive state of ongoing anger... It bothers me every time I see people toss around the word "hate" with every disagreement or bias that they believe other people have. Without realizing it, these people are minimizing one of the most dangerous internal emotional experiences that we experience as humans by turning it into hyperbole that nobody takes seriously.
