Hate will make you a terrible person.  You need to let the hate go.  Every individual is valuable, and nobody was born to be your subordinate or your menial wage slave.    People of decency and goodwill outnumber people of indecency and ill will, but people of goodwill need to show up because evil is relentless.  Friendship, loyalty, and empathy are powerful.
