You learn more about a person, not by what they love, but by what they cannot tolerate. Cultivating distaste is a great way to form your self-identity. Disgust and hatred are often stronger emotions than passions. They are more potent and therefore work better for discerning one's character. I encourage you to create one of these lists for yourself. It is an excellent tool for helping yourself work out who you are, and communicate that to others.

Importantly, hatred must be directed towards behaviours, beliefs, and actions, never towards people. All those can be changed, but hating a person themself is evil.
