Way back when, my mother and I had one hell of an existential conversation that boiled down into a philosophy that I've never really let go of. "It's okay to be be angry at people, it's even okay to hate them. It's never okay to stop loving them though."
Compare and contrast: When I was a small child (maybe 6, maybe 7) my mother told me "most mommies will tell you that they love you even when they're mad but I'm not most mommies and when I'm mad at you I do not and if you don't stay out of my way I will fucking kill you."
