Thank you @cyprianj for a thoughtful reply on the content of this post. If the mind is colored by negative, unwholesome thoughts, that will be all you see. If you feel hateful, everything you see and do will be colored by hate.
Wholesome mind states like loving kindness and compassion must have wisdom as a support. As my teachers told me there is foolish kindness and compassion, which can cause as much trouble for everyone as hate and anger.
I will be getting into wisdom in the later post on the 10 fold path, there are several definitions and their meaning is contextual.
Metta means wise loving kindness in Pali (it's a dead language like Latin)
Much metta and thank you
