I am looking for Orthodox thoughts on this issue, as I am considering conversion. I am very conservative, politically, and detest what I see happening to the United States and to the world. Mostly I am angry at the way these extremely liberal changes and policies affect children and teenagers. I am a teacher, and I see these effects every day.
I find myself feeling angry and hateful toward people on the political and cultural left. I am not sure how to deal with these feelings when, in my opinion, leftists are willfully destroying everything that is good and traditional in our society. And I do not want to hate anyone. My way of dealing with it so far has been to avoid those people as much as possible, but it's hard with my job and with how many young people are on that side of the spectrum today.
Any Orthodox opinions on dealing with feelings of bitterness and hate are appreciated. Thank you.
