How do we have a response in keeping with loving-kindness when people hate us or hurt our feelings? In this talk, Dave defines hatred as "malicious rage with ill-will and an insatiable desire to hurt you or get back at you." He shares three possible types of responses, taken from his book, "Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Living."
