...hmmm.....I don't seem to find that in God's Word, instead I find this teaching.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 1 John 2:15-17
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. 1 Corinthians 5:11-13

God does not tell us to love everything, everybody and all of existence. He tells us to love him. We do fail to love him quite often and this is sin. We are reminded of our sin through its consequences---there are always consequences for sin. But let us than God that we have Jesus Christ who died for our sins. He is our Lord and Savior and he is just to forgive us. His grace is sufficient for us and allows us to have life everlasting. Jesus loves you and he will forgive when you fall if you will just ask him God bless you.

We all fail because we hate others and we don't embrace He's teachings

Because we are still beset by hatred and mistrust, fueled by stereotypes and how we perceive others.
