Mostly agreed. > I don't see anything wrong if I feel a will to destroy something and I resist it, so that no harm comes from my hatred. Agreed. One nitpick: "harm" may also be e.g. psychological self-harm. In my mother tongue, when you willingly sustain your hate, we say that you "feed hate" - it is a very wise intuition, I think. And in my dictionary, "hatred" is always something to condemn - but OTOH, there is a vast difference between "emotional impulse" and "conscious will"... In other words, the words "feel" and "will" don't go together. To paraphrase EWD, you can no more "feel the will" than a submarine can swim;-). (Not a 100% correct analogy, but I couldn't resist.) (For the sake of completeness: I'm not sure if I agree with the create/destroy distinction.)
