Sorry for another long winded post.
A few days ago, some friends and I had a conversation during dinner. We eventually began making making jokes at each other and I could not help but get irritated by an unflattering nickname a friend had given me. I flicked some sesame seeds into his soda in retaliation. Immediately afterwards I felt remorse for my childish act and quickly apologized.

Believe it or not, I started to think about the concept of hatred and mortal sin shortly afterwards. Now I pretty sure I didn’t flick those seeds into my friends drink out of hatred (only out of annoyance), I couldn’t help but think of what Jesus said about “But anyone who says ‘you fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.”

So once again, when do our feelings of anger or irritation turn into hatred?
(I would have asked about this to a priest if only I had a chance to go to confession)

I usually tackle this issue with a more realistic approach. If you’re only two steps short of killing the person, that’s when you should start seeking a priest. What you did with your friend, looks actually pretty natural (if not, only adds the humor). XD
 
I like to think of it like this.

Have you thought about taking revenge? That’s a no-no. Revenge is mine, saith the Lord.

Have you thought about hurting them as badly as they hurt you? Eye for an eye is for the legal system, not for you personally.

Yes, object if you’re being mistreated. Ask them “I’m not doing this to you, why do you do this to me?” (if you ARE doing mistreatment, STOP!)
