Positive Hatred

Hatred is such a useful emotion in good hands (by that I mean people sensible enough to indulge in it without causing violence or damage to others) . I try to start my day with a hateful rant against big corporations, stuffy ex-girlfriends, evil bosses, dogmatic academic institutions, whoever really. The morning grogginess and the news are often great aids. I pound out the anger in my morning pushups, knit my brows in annoyance as I furiously slurp the cereals, and then mentally flagellate myself into showering. I feel like a positively energized person for the rest of the day. I wonder why "hatred" gets such a "bad rap" and is unfairly labeled a "negative emotion" by American lifestyle gurus.
