Hate does that. Burns off everything but itself, so whatever your grievance is, your face looks just like your enemy's.
In her book "Love," Toni Morrison expresses a powerful idea about the destructive nature of hate. She suggests that hatred consumes everything around it, leaving only the raw emotion behind. This intense feeling not only harms the object of hatred but also transforms the hater, creating a mirror image of the enemy in their own demeanor. Morrison's quote underscores the futility of holding onto grievances, as they ultimately lead to a loss of identity and humanity. Instead of resolving conflicts, hate perpetuates a cycle of negativity, reflecting back what one despises in others.
