Hate not him

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 3 Feb '09

“Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.”

--J. G. C. Brainard

My Thoughts:
If your best friend was suffering from certain disease, would you hate him? Certainly not, but you would hate his disease.

Similarly, a person is not evil, but his actions are. He is actually suffering from a disease of evil. So don’t hate the person, hate the disease of evil and vice in him.
