Speaking truth, at any time, is no vice. One needn’t be vicious about it, though.

"Speaking truth, at any time, is no vice. One needn’t be vicious about it, though.

I believe that is exactly what the term ill, connotates or implies in this sense.

I know there are two forms of the passion of hatred - loathing and hostility. .

Loathing can be a virtue, when restrained to one's evil actions or some things being derived of evil. Whereas hostility is always sinful, because one takes a keen pleasure or immense satisfaction in seeing that particular someone has a difficult or or hard fate/life.
