Hate is such a strong word

Recently a person that I have had issues with left the Village... and well... I wish them well. It took me a long time to realize that I don't need to like everyone and surprisingly not everyone needs to like me. My father stated once that "if we constantly change who we are to fit the needs of others... we will never know who we really are"... and it took me a while to agree with him... but I do.
The thing is I actually don't hate that person (or anyone else to be honest)... to truly hate someone just takes way too much of your own energy... I think I feel pity more for that person. To be so unhappy in your life... and to be so miserable that you would rather others be in the same state as you, than to celebrate their achievements and success... saddens me. I hope that this person and others like them one day find out who they are... and become content... if not happy with themselves.
Cheers!
