Hatred is a blinding, disorienting emotion. Love brings light, focus and direction. 1Jn 2:9-10 "Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes."
Love of fame, fortune or possessions and the lust for physical temporal gratification are all passing fancies they cannot be satiated. Only Absolute Love last eternally. 1Jn 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever."
