You could probably have a reasonable stab in the dark at it though, no? You might find maybe you in fact are capable of hate. I believe outside some serious transcendental guruism or existentialist martydom we practically all are. The potential for it seems hardwired into our psyches far too deeply. Maybe most of us can be lucky enough not to seriously tap into it too much but I feel to deny the idea that I am capable of hate is to circumnavigate my own humanity.

Angels are quite dull and certainly imaginary. As for forgiveness I guess I discern on my own terms like with everything. I'll suffer friends for a long time but won't turn the cheek for a fool.
