Odium Inimicitiae

[Donna]

Thank you, Phat...for quoting the Newadvent somewhere back in this Lane:

[i]Hatred in general is a vehement aversion entertained by one person for another, or for something more or less identified with that other. Theologians commonly mention two distinct species of this passion.

-One (odium abominationis, or loathing) is that in which the intense dislike is concentrated primarily on the qualities or attributes of a person, and only secondarily, and as it were derivatively, upon the person himself.
-[b]The second sort (odium inimicitiae[/b], or hostility) aims directly at the person, indulges a propensity to see what is evil and unlovable in him, feels a fierce satisfaction at anything tending to his discredit, and is keenly desirous that his lot may be an unmixedly hard one, either in general or in this or that specified way. [/i]


How do you, or do you know how, people combat contunal assault? How do ppeople maintain possession of their soul in the midst of this.

A continual conversation with God, and lots of backup. Therapy if necessary.
