Is hatred ever a productive thing to have?

[festive1]

Hmmm....I am dissatisfied with myself but I don't hate other people with those negative attributes.

This tells me you are a compassionate person. Perhaps, extending your compassion for faults you see in others (and within you) to yourself would prove helpful, if not easy. I struggle with self-love and self-compassion. I seem to overlook the fact that I'm human, just like everyone else. I hold myself to a higher (perfectionistic) standard, which no saint could ever hope to attain.
