Anger is OK, if it's managed and used productively.

Hate... that's another can of worms I think. I don't know that it's possible to be completely free from it, but I have personally noted that the less hate and anger I feel, the happier I am (not to mention those around me).

Neither do I. However, I don't know that it's necessary to hate one's enemies.
