Hate

[Edwardo Piet]

Deepseated interpersonal hatred is wrong insofar as any unnecessary suffering to the self or others it may cause, due to how it affects one's own behavior as a result of that deepseated interpersonal hatred. But only if it does that.

So, is it OK for me to hate someone if I make sure I only cause them necessary suffering?

Well are you a dentist? A dentist often gives people necessary suffering.

If the short-term suffering has a long time health benefit, I'd consider that necessary suffering.

But I do think it's also important that it's consensual. Consensual necessary suffering good for your long-term health that ultimately reduces your suffering, isn't so bad.
