In my opinion, yes.



In my opinion, hating a person DOES mean that you wish evil upon that person.



That would be "don't like" the person, not hate.

Your first quote is agreed

The second would depends on how a person acts out in a rage of hate. Personally for me I don't wish evil on others.

The last... again, would depends on how a person acts out.

Me personally,

I'm not a hateful person.

I just have no room for it, and no need to hate.

If you don't wish evil on others, then you don't hate others. Nothing wrong with that. :)

Well, Here's how I see it -

Hate and Don't Like (or Dislike) may be similar in some sense but they both are entirely different.

By using Hate is like having it in a hostile form because it involves anger, fear, emotions and rage.

By using Dislike (or Don't Like) is like saying there's a feeling of disapproval that is involved.

For instance, If I were to say "I hate reading a book"; That means I would not be even willing to budge to read a book. Now if I were to say "I dislike reading a book." - It'd mean that I would have to suck it up and to read it even though I don't want to read a book.

I suppose, It is just about how you convey the words or how to use it in a given situation.
 
"hate" involves more feelings or passion while "dont like" really doesnt involved much feelings.

I dont like this dinner..means it is ok but not too crazy about it.

I hate this dinner..means I refuse to eat it again!

Well said. It's like trying to express a degree of non-preference. Dislike is usually something you can tolerate, and hate would express something you would avoid at all costs.
 
"Hate" is the opposite of "Love".

"Don't Like" is the opposite of "Like".
