Fair From Within the Mind

Throughout life, we, humans, are always faced with many things. Whether it's things we like or not.
In recent years, I have quite often heard advice about loving and hating. This advice is what ultimately controls me these days. Days full of 'this side against that side'.
They say, love and hate something in moderation, don't overdo it. If we don't like something, someone, or even a group of people, just hate the part we don't like, just enough, don't overdo it. If there is something right and good about them, we must acknowledge that.
Be fair from within the mind.
I believe that it's possible for us to hate someone, but actually only for subjective reasons. If that's the case, be honest as it is. Acknowledge that the dislike is just a personal matter, not about right and wrong. Don't try to find justification for that dislike.
In daily life, it is very difficult to find people with this kind of personality. Even if there are, the consequences are heavy, because being in the middle, they will get hit from both sides.
