HATE is a strong word but when would you feel it strongly against someone?

....when they did evil things behind my back! it's sickening...
bad thought? to wish them dead so they won't inflict harm anymore especially to innocent trusting souls.

I hated my sister back when she was causing my aging mother to become depressed and refuse to eat.
My hate was due to my inability to express my anger or make a difference.

When Mum's Living Will came into effect, she came to live with me and I cared for her -
but my sister reported lies about me to the police.
Each time I was able to show them the evidence that her accusations weren't and couldn't be true,
but there was no way I could prevent my sibling's attacks until after Mum finally passed away.

Now that we have no contact, I can wish my sister well and hope she finds happiness.
Huge relief.

@hartfire you have a good heart!

@1Dogma Thank you, it's kind of you to say so -
Yet it doesn't feel like I'm a good person.
I felt depressed and helpless during that time.
It's horrible to discover that one is capable of hate
and all that unexpressed anger is itself stressful.
