I love you Richard. Though to be honest I can't think of anyone I don't love. People are awesome.
The Greeks (Aristotle?) recognized three type types of love.
Filial....Brotherly, motherly love
Eros .... Husband and wife
Agape.... Love of God
Jesus said "firstly love the Lord your God, secondly love you brother, these are the two greatest commandments" sic.
Hate is not an option.
If you are not sure then pray for the person. Your heart will feel better for it.
Maybe the ability to love everyone is a gift from the Holy Spirit. After all God is love. NDE's always describe the incredible sense of love they experience before returning.
A lot of people purporting to be atheists seem to have a problem with loving and being loved. Maybe there is no love away from God.
Better go...
Love you all.
