Anger is the emotion. Hatred is the rationale.
It is the event, the person, the words that incite the fury, but rage is not enough; it does not solve the problem. Emotions come and go. If you are angry in this moment, it is not likely that you will feel the same 24 hours from now, let alone a week or even a month. And just because you feel anger in the moment does not mean that the moment or event inspires true hatred.
Hatred is something deep, immensely more powerful than mere anger. Anger is impotent by comparison, a sign of weakness. In fact, true hatred eventually learns how to mask and eventually completely hide anger. Hatred allows you to smile when you would otherwise scowl. Hatred is the coldness, the calculation. Hatred lifts you out of the moment and imagines the moment when your enemy is completely and utterly crushed.
Hatred is not an emotion. Hatred is a decision. Hatred is the choice to do something about what has angered, saddened or or otherwise inflicted you. Hatred is remembering those moments - each and every one - for days, weeks, months and even years... until that one glorious moment, when the hatred can be completely and thoroughly unleashed.
Emotion. Silence. Logic. You can feel supreme hatred without feeling an iota of anger, or any other emotion for that matter. The silence that follows anger - and the final logical destination - is masterful and wonderful.
Do not feel hatred. Be hatred.
Hatred sounds scary and dangerous.
