•don't look at it from a perspective of getting even and serving justice on who wronged you. Instead look at it from a perspective of redeeming them.
David your counter point is that it's arrogant to try to redeem another, and instead to not do it. However throughout our lives being redeemed is what we all need. Consider a child. Their parents love him, but if he lies, hits other kids, or takes toys away from them it's up to the parent to correct their son. In that way from even an early age we are redeemed from a bad behavior to be taught in ways to make up good, responsible adults by the time we leave the parent's nest.
Later on in life most people screw something up. Teens wreck a car, anger flares, or inexperience on something makes you try to "fix" something that really ends up breaking it or harming it. In those instances there are several ways to redeem a person from their failures. And by redeem I mean that they are no longer counted against that person, nor does the person keep on doing the same thing. Whether it's facing a consequence, forgiving them, or trying to teach them a better way to be, the effort to make each of us better is a consistent part of our lives. If we focus on that aspect to redeem each other instead of getting back at them, then we solve a huge chunk of the issues relating to hate. However if you realize you can't do this, then let them go, and walk away from them. Have nothing to do with them.
