I agree with venting anger, but anger and hate are two very different things.

I agree with this, especially with your differentiation between hate and anger. I think anger can be a healthy emotion, as long as you know how to let go of it before it comes hate. But true *hate* is such a destructive emotion! When you're angry, you can scream, kick against a wall or punch into a pillow, and with time, it burns out, like fire. Hate is like a cancer, it festers without being vented. I think in the end it's more destructive, because if you don't let go of it, you'll snap and do worse damage than when you lash out in anger.
