He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. Proverbs 10:18 (NIV)
My reflection of the verse
In this verse God is telling us that we should not conceal our hatred with someone. I think the reason behind this verse is that when we hate someone our hearts and minds think negative things about the person we hate. We should be open about our feelings to the person we had a misunderstanding with. It's better to talk it out before the end of the day and learn how to forgive. Usually, when a person hate someone he has the tendency of spreading bad things about the person. It's not proper to say bad things about others whether it is true or not. We should refrain from saying negative things, and then, later on regret what has been said. Hence, hating is not good and we should avoid it.
