Hi embraced:

Feeling those emotions might not be a bad thing. I am not saying it's good, either. They simply are. Allow yourself to feel all of those emotions, and don't pass judgment on whether they are good or bad. Give your mind a rest from the incessant thoughts and just get in the moment and feel what you feel.

My mind constantly wants to categorize events as good or bad. However, I can tell you now that I don't know what is good or bad anymore. I used to think that all of the emotional pain I went through in my life was a curse. Now, I see it as a blessing because it weakened my ego and served as a major driving force in my life to become more conscious. So is it a blessing or a curse? I don't know. Maybe it just is what it is.

Maybe that hatred can be a driving force to make you more conscious?

Peace.
