How about "Hate the deed, and love the doer" M.L. King Jr.

Einar here:=20
Personally I put a ? to all "hate", at least seen from a psychological =
point of view.
Hate means war in the Psyche, as I understand the word, but to my =
limited understanding it is HARMONY we need in there, which seems more =
in the line of love and compassion than hate.
Essentially it should be in our power to decide what feeling we carry =
inside.
I would like to point out that loving  a person (i.e. having warm =
compassionate feelings towards him/her) doesn't mean that we don't see =
him/her or the act as it is, or that we have to accept it as right. The =
hate weils our sight, seeing (understanding), which is love, clears it

Personally I would have paraphrased the statement of Martin like this:

Understand (the background of) the deed, and you will (automatically) =
love the doer!

I know it is hard to do, but it pays off thousand times!

Love and care.

Einar from Iceland
