Why hate...? I'm assuming it was rhetorical. I'm afraid my intellect isn't developed enough to be able to digest philosophical thoughts, statements, musings, etc, beyond the surface meaning. I have briefly read some Nietzsche, at a friends house, while waiting for him and his wife to get ready to go out. I must admit it didn't make much sense to me. But why hate? Would you be questioning it if he said love instead? I find both words are over-used to the point of lacking the true intention and feeling. With regard to that exact quote, it brought an amorphous, nebulous, vague direction of thought/feeling I had held and matched it to words that my monkey brain could understand.
