See, this is where we differ in opinion. For me, caring and compassion come from seeing and knowing the evil, but using love and good to combat it. So, if I see people doing evil, I feel compassion (not hate) for them. I will do what I can to show love in their presence, but I will not allow them to do evil to me.
This is a suicide philosophy, can you imagine what would happen if your body learned to "love" the intruding viruses? You can not combat evil with love, someone punches you in the face and you turn the other cheek, they'll just punch you on the other.

That is a contradiction. Hating and caring are two opposite things. They do not exist at the same time.
Wow. Are you serious?
If you know something is destructive, it is OK to HATE that thing to show your CARE for the others around you. What are you gonna do, love it and letting keep destroying people's lives?

Do not let your close-minded ways prevent you from believing everything and everyone is not subject to being loved. Tell me why it would be impossible for you to love something or someone and yet be unable to stop it? Why do you have to HATE something in order to prevent it from doing it? Hm?
Think.
