Loving the person or entity is different than loving the action.

I find that my relationship to "natural evil" in terms of love, acceptance, understanding, is becoming similar to the relationship I have with 'terribly evil' people and their actions.

How do you feel about mother earth when an earthquake kills thousands?
How do you feel about the earth?
How do you feel about the earthquake?

How about a shark attack?
How do you feel about the shark?
The attack itself?

How about a 8 year old kid who gets angry and fires his father's gun at another kid?
How do you feel about the kid?
How do you feel about his action?

How about the teenager druggie who robs and kills an old lady to get money for his fix?
How do you feel about the teen druggie?
How do you feel about his action?

How do you feel about the adult gang member who has a shootout to defend his turf and accidentally kills an innocent nearby person?
How do you feel about the gang member?
How do you feel about his accidental killing?

Then ask yourself the same questions with respect to the examples you describe above. All of the above examples can be seen as different, or can be seen as similar. You can decide to focus on the separation, or the similarities and unity, as is your purview. Free will!!
