Sometimes it is extremely hard to try to love an hateful person, it's already hard enough trying to love people for who they are, but then loving an hateful person who has nothing in him/her to be loved, you certainly need to have a super-loving power or maybe I just need to open up to love more.
It's an extraordinary challenge for sure. It's much easier to respond to hatred with more hatred than it is to respond with love. But it is indeed possible. If you make the effort to understand another even when they act with hate, it's much easier to see the part inside them that is worth loving, no matter how buried it is.
You may not see it on the surface, but look closer. It is there.
