I agree things used to be more… sensible? But the issue I take here is the bit about hate. It does not die in darkness. It festers. It may be forgotten and quaint by the time it boils back up, but it remains. The best resolution to hate is enlightenment and education, but that is a difficult and involved commitment, which doesn’t suit our particular need to fight the nearest alligator at all times. The greater risk comes when we’ve forgotten about the hate because we were busy with something else.
