And I ask, how should I act towards someone who just sexually assaulted me? Should I be ashamed that I feel hatred towards the stranger who just rubbed my breasts and buttocks, and ran her hand across my pubis pressing into my clitoris, against my will? What emotion should apply in this situation?
Should this emotion extend to a large group of people, or can you confine this emotion to the offender?
If the emotion harms you, is it still the best emotion? If the emotion prevents you from being effective in preventing the same crime from happening to someone else, will you cling to the emotion or let it go?
