In my first entry, I said that I don't hate people anymore.  I got to thinking about it and I realized that I don't recall ever having had a deep hatred for anyone.  There have been people I really did not want to be around for one reason or another, but no one that I desperately wanted to see utterly destroyed.

I tried to delete it, but for some reason I can't.  So, I apologize for saying it in the first place.  I should have thought more about it before I said it.  I guess my thinking was that I actually try to help people now.  I don't think I've ever desperately sought revenge.  I've never liked to see suffering, even if it was someone who did me wrong.  So hate was the wrong word.  More accurately, I should say that being a Christian has given me an awareness of others people's needs and taught me to focus more on them than on me, myself, and I.
