"Not by hate is hate defeated; hate is quenched by love, not sensual pleasure. The is the eternal law."
Dhammapada 5.
Only love can conquer anger and hate. Love always confronts hate in the one way hate can not comprehend, with mercy and compassion.
Hate can not go beyond itself. It draws its strength from the self's defense of "self" !
Love lives to go beyond itself, drawing its strength from the act of selfless love. Love can thus comprehend hate. Slowly hate is defeated by love, as a grain of salt dissolves into the sweetness of a pond.

Anger(dosa);the sweet virtue that subdues this evil force and sublimes man is loving-kindness(metta)
Cruelty(himsa) is another vice that is responsible for many horrors and atrocities prevalent in the world.Compassion(karuna) is its antidote.
Jealousy(issa) is another vice that poisons one's system and leads to unhealty rivalries and dangerous competitions.The most effective remedy for this poisonous drug is appreciative joy(mudita)
There are two universal characteristics that upset the mental equipoise of man.They are attachment to the pleasurable and aversion to the non-pleasurable.These two opposite forces can be eliminated by developing equanimity(upekkha)
SADDHA

Buddha would smile, dance and have patience, knowing that all conflicts resolve themselves in the end, and all beings shall ultimately find peace.

Buddha said that you don't have to accept what some one offers you. That includes hate. But, I prefer Jesus' command, "Love one another, as I have loved you." Hate kills, but only the person doing the hating. God loves you too.

buddha is long dead and buried; I think he's got other things he's probably more concerned with.
