Instead of hating the people you think are warmakers hate the appetites and disorder in your own soul which are the causes of war. If you love peace then hate injustice hate tyranny hate greed but hate these things in yourself not in another.

To desire Him to be merciful to us is to acknowledge Him as God. To seek His pity when we deserve no pity is to ask Him to be just with a justice so holy that it knows no evil and shows mercy to everyone who does not fly from Him in despair.
