Abhor

Abhor is a verb.
Synonyms are:
Detest

Abominate

these all synonyms were verbs.

Animosity
Resentment
antagonism
aversion
antipathy.

All mean abhor. but those are nouns.

Now. Lets see some antonyms.

Esteem
Revere
venerate
cherish
dote on

Cool. We have some words under our belt.
Lets start using them.

Whenever you talk of hate, you easily get something on your mind. I just got politics on my mind. Gosh! we have enough reasons to Abhor our politicians. Okay, i  understand that it is not right to write off a whole class of people, just based on one's own Resentment. But let me say, that the politicians, as a common noun are the most loathed entity. There are reasons to abominate them. You cant claim one politician to be honest, or good enough to be venerted. But still they are held high in esteem and are revered as the leaders of a whole country. A whole country!! And how do they lead us ? to where ? When its time for elections, suddenly one community starts Execrating another. One god is Despised by the other. Suddenly Antipathy is in the environment. Animosity and antagonism are everywhere. Boy, just for the sake of power. Just for the right to be the termites to eat the nation. To feast on the taxes paid by the people whose Aversion for one another is so strong that once set free. They will eat one another.
