Light only casts shadows if it's striking at an angle. If light is everywhere, striking from all angles, no shadow can exist.

Exactly what Thrym says. Darkness is the absence of light. It is (hypothetically) possible to fully have something with no absence of it. Similarly, silence is the absence of sound. You can have sound and thus no silence.

Hate is the sheer absence of love, in my opinion. You don't even care enough to be indifferent. You need to retaliate, bicker, throw insults left and right. You are trying to fight hate with more hate. It's like trying to fix a lie with more lies. ...

Love your enemies. Turn on the light switch to remove the darkness. It makes no sense to try and remove darkness by adding more darkness. Why try and remove hate by adding more hate. It doesn't matter how evil they may be or have been, how much harm they have done you or others, love them.
