Spiritual concepts
Hate
The opposing function to Love and thus of creation. Hate is thus a function of destruction and dissolution.
In the system of contrasts devised as part of the Strategy of the great work, hate and destruction are a needed part of the overall plan, competition between the dark forces of destruction and the forces of Light are a needed strategy. Without such tension nothing moves, there is no change, no evolution.
This is symbolically captured in many board games particularly chess
