“[I do not] commend the saying “nothing in excess” because one must hate evil men to the extreme”
“οὐδὲ τὸ μηδὲν ἄγαν· δεῖ γὰρ τούς γε κακοὺς ἄγαν μισεῖν”. Aristotle, Rhetoric 1395a 33
I enjoy your posts, but this one baffles me. What drove the choice of a topic of “hate” especially with what is going on in our current world?
Is it not a time to be reinforcing a different message. Whatever is paid attention to, grows. There is enough hate. We need examples of courage, righteous behavior, belief in the goodness of man

Philos compounds. More of which will come tomorrow
Also posted it to show the extent and variety of hatreds in ancient world.
This reminds me of a certain skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AT_VXvA6AA
