I hate them for what they do, not who they are.
And there has been plenty of people who, because of their patterns of behavior, I have come to hate in the past few years.
Right now, I am battling feelings of hatred toward one such hypocrite, whose cold indifference he spreads to others, which I see as threatening to me and other trans people.
If he came clean and changed his ways, then I would stop hating him, however. But now I am incommunicado with him permanently, so I will never see him change his ways. Therefore, the hate will last for the rest of my life.
It's funny, the Khechari Mudra, a yoga technique where you move your tongue behind your uvula, up above the soft palate, and into your nasal cavity, is said to relieve such feelings of attachment and anger and to bring about spiritual commitment. Well, I am a counterexample. I have regularly practiced Khechari Mudra (usually to clean out my posterior nasal cavity) since around the 3rd grade in elementary school habitually several times a day, long before I even learned what it was called or that other people could do it too, yet I still have anger and attachment. I have a habit of engaging in Khechari Mudra, often engaging in it without thinking, but it does nothing.
Yoga is a fraud.
