According to Friedrich Nietzsche, the world's oldest hatred is the hatred of the weak for the strong. In his Genealogy of Morals, he imagines a beautiful green meadow full of fluffy-soft lambs, who are occasionally carried off by eagles. The lambs decide the eagles, who keep killing lambs in cruel and brutal ways, must be motivated by a hatred of lambs. So they hate the eagles in return. A bubbling, festering hatred against everything that soars. They decide that 'these birds of prey are evil, and whoever is least like a bird of prey, and most like a lamb, is good.' But the eagles don't hate the lambs. The truly lofty are incapable of hatred. They love the lambs, they love their pink noses and soft coats, and they love the world that gives an eagle the freedom to swoop.
These days, Nietzsche's philosophy is usually pressed into the service of some very dull, piggish types, who think they ought to have power simply because they don't resemble lambs. If they preen their feathers, if they keen loudly enough, if they're capable of acts of careless cruelty, then they must be the eagle. This is one reading. But I like the other implication. If you hate anything, anything at all, even your most despised enemy, if you have the tiniest speck of hatred and resentment in your soulβthen you are not an eagle. Screech all you like. You will never fly.

There a good quote from genealogy of morals that I can't for the life of me recall that says basically this. Something about letting it fall like rain off your coat.
