Oprah: Did you ever hate your oppressors?
Elie: I had anger but never hate. Before the war, I was too busy studying [the Bible and the Cabala] to hate. After the war, I thought, "What's the use?" To hate would be to reduce myself.
What does Elie mean when he said, "To hate would be reduce myself".
Oprah: Do you think that God lives in the people—and the people stand by
and watch the children suffer?
Elie: The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
Elie: The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
Oprah: Because indifference allows the world to stand by and watch?
Elie: Indifference creates evil.
Oprah: Doesn't hatred create evil?
Elie: Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power.
Do you agree or disagree with Elie about Hatred and Indifference? Explain
