I've been trying to figure out what this means this afternoon when I discovered that a co-worker hates me enough to want me to lose my job and be forced to uproot my son, give up my house and move to another town to find a new job and he is actively campaigning to be put in a position to make that decision.
My initial "knee-jerk", very human reaction is to find a way to get him out of the picture (get him fired, cause him to lose favor with superiors, whatever)...but it only took me a few minutes of hating him back to realize that I wasn't practicing what I preach. But I still don't know how to love him???? Is it enough to simply pray for him, that he will come to know God in a way that will allow him to let go of his hate for me? ...or would God have me to do more? I do plan to continue seeking what God would have me to say or do to obey his commandment to love my enemies!

I'm not sure anyone hates me, but a lot of people have problems with me because I repeatedly put things on TV, Radio and into print. You see I'm an unschooled high school and college drop out. You're not supposed to be able to succeed and do things only about 2 million out of 6 billion can do with my credentials. It bugs people.

Jesus was a great Philosopher, but not much on human nature, unfortunately. HAD he been an expert on humans and their nature, he might not have gotten crucified.
From a psychological perspective and HUMAN knowledge of our own nature, "loving" everyone is "impossible." Just as restraining oneself from killing (war) will always be "impossible." In my faith the ancient egyptians saw this after suffering many calamities to invaders and evenually had to conform to the inevitable. War. All "sacred" WORDS are great to the one who DOESN'T want to deal with REALITY or is too scared to face up to it, but judging from 5500 years of recorded history, delusions of loving EVERYONE have only gotten the believers killed while the world keep twirling round and people don't CHANGE. I will burst a bubble many christians will hate hearing and that IS, that it is WE who have to deal with THIS life and all it's irrationalities, NOT the holy in heaven, and EXPERIENCE in the FLESH is not one of their traits of EXPERTISE. Were it so, they would not teach such irrational teachings as this one for upon this world, to love our enemies many times is an impossibility. An "irrational" impossibility.
In light of what I have just said, without a doubt KNOWING the intellect of the holy, this "want" was not from heaven but from those who wrote it and a Jesus who was not going to have to LIVE in this world for too much longer himself.....

I'm not sure of anyone who outright hates me.
Probably nobody at this point. But I have ticked off quite a few in my lifetime. Mostly family members when I was younger and quite rebellious.

It's not who hates you that matters; it's who loves you that matters.

No one hates me.
I have stopped judging people on their behaviour.
Love and hatred are same energy in diffirent polarity.
I simply accept people as they are.
If they want me I am with them otherwise away from them.
That's all.
