Cara Mia, if that man has not separated you from the love of God, and he has not, then the only thing keeping hate of him alive is your thought about him. Only your pride keeps him in your memory.

By being troubled about it, you have already discovered it to be unworthy of your grander aims, and that is the beginning of humility.
