As a rule, it was the pleasure-haters who became unjust.
It is clear that men accept an immediate pain rather than an immediate pleasure, but only because they expect a greater pleasure in the future. Often the pleasure is illusory, but their error in calculation is no refutation of the rule.
If we only obey those rules that we think are just and reasonable, then no rule will stand, for there is no rule that some will not think is unjust and unreasonable.
Unjust rule does not last forever.
Emotions in this game run deep so before these haters kill me in my sleep I'd like to say, it's been a pleasure.
Haters are cowards. When confronted they often back down. We must resist haters.
Sometimes I just think people are haters. And if they're haters, you can listen to what they have to say but you have to take it with a grain of salt.
As there are misanthropists or haters of men, so also are there misologists, or haters of ideas.
Haters will be haters, you have got to acknowledge them and move on as the ratio of love to hate is too high.
Normally, I try not to pay attention to my haters, but this time I'd like to talk about it, because my haters are my motivators.

For as there are misanthropists, or haters of men, there are also misologists, or haters of ideas, and both spring from the same cause, which is ignorance of the world.
All interstate wars intensify aggression – maximize it … some wars are even more unjust than others. In other words, all government wars are unjust, although some governments have less unjust claims.
Haters gonna be haters, and there's nothing we can do about that.
