If you expect everything you're asked to do to make sense to you, you have no need of the Bible and can rely simply on this sort of me-and-mine reasoning. Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Who indeed should be required to like people who are making their lives difficult?

Who is Paul telling you it's ok to dislike? Do you have a name in mind?
It sounds to me like Paul is saying it's okay to dislike our enemies, but we must still treat them well:

No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Rom 12:20 RSV
