me! hate is extreme dislike. we dislike that which does us harm. love seeks to protect us and keep us safe. if something does us harm then love will do what is necessary to protect us and part of that will be a totally natural and balanced dislike. if we face extreme and malicious threats to us then it is natural for us to extremely dislike the situation and that extreme dislike is hate. so to hate something (when balance is present) is part of self preservation and free will and thus love.
