Hatred: Too good to give up?
Also, you there state of hatred that "Such emotions are barely affected by reason." So when Americans hate, why would you expect them to be different from others and somehow be rational in their hatred? That almost makes me think you are ready for the following, but I suspect it is a momentary aberration and you are probably not ready for American thinking.
Actually I was saying that avoiding hatred isn't possible and the best thing you can do is acknowledge that what you're feeling is probably very disproportionate. (But yes I did say it could be enjoyable)
I don't think hatred should have anything to do with justice.
