***you wrote"“I permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.” — Booker T. Washington

None can make you hate, that is a choice you make....Hate and love are both strong emotions, indifference is the opposite of hate and love....

I permit no one to dictate my reaction to anything. that is why I am hard to insult....an "insult" is just one persons opinion..

But scripture also says there is a time to love and a time to hate...

I have found that hate leads to bitterness and bitterness really sucks. Fell into that once as a young woman until I learned how to get rid of it..Since then I have not experienced hating anyone, but have been indifferent many times....(hope this doesn't sound too convoluted)

“There are three people who are my friend. The person who loves me, the
person who hates me, and the person who is indifferent to me. The
person who loves me teaches me tenderness. The person who hates me
teaches me caution. And the person who is indifferent to me teaches me
self-reliance.”
— Dinger
