You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.

I think the biggest problems concerning hatred are dishonesty and lack of emotional control
Humans are endued with a full spectrum of emotions both positive and negative. You could say love and hate are two sides of the same coin because they share overlapping brain chemistry and physiological response If you're capable of expressing love, you're equally capable of expressing hatred. Denying the experience of negative emotion is like shutting off half the qualities that make you human. When societies teach suppression of negative emotion because they're "not nice", "bad" or "scary", emotions get bottled up where they fester and manifest into violence. Being honest with yourself is the first step toward taking ownership over your own emotional output Hatred can't be mitigated or controlled until it's acknowledged. When you take responsibility and practice self control by not allowing your emotions to dictate your reactions, then it becomes possible to redirect negative emotion and channel it into constructive purpose. Negative emotion is not the enemy. It shows you where your boundaries are

It's part of being a living being. It's what you do with them that matters. There is need for personal responsibility. Holding negative emotions within your body can cause harm. You have to do something with them. I tie mine to a virtual red balloon and let them float away from me.

It is odd to me that the question is twinned in itself.
To hate is one distinct thing... not limited to people, but ideas, and concepts, and even reality. But to crystalize that hatred, by reason or emotion seems a very different matter. To be judged a "certain" person, I must have already determined what the "certain" person is. It's silly I know, but most everyone has heard someone say "I hate those people" towards or, in reference to some person. Yet, sight unseen, with no knowledge from actual personal contact... hatred. Maybe I just am broken. But I can't hate 'clusters' of people... even if they might hate me... Hate is only real when it has a real object... conceptual hatred is akin to virtue signaling... It's surface. Besides, hatred leads inevitably to action... action carries intent... hateful intent. Just an opinion.

Some saints felt the passage referred to having to be firm with one's self if progress in the spiritual life is the goal.
