To live a hate free life, don’t spend time hating things and people.

Hate is not a feeling it’s an action. Just stop, and then you’re not a source of hate any more.

Except for Nazis. Always hate those guys.

If you want to hate Nazis, you must be ready for the negative effects of hate on your mental health.
