Between the wars he became addicted to morphine (probably the result of wartime injuries) and became a fat megalomaniac, but I still cannot hate him. As FokkerJ said, hate is a very strong word. He was Adolf's "YES" man, but still held my respect for his previous deeds.

Goring became addicted to morphine while being treated for a gunshot
wound suffered on the 9th of november 1923 during the so called beer hall
putsch. An attempt by hitler to seize power,hitler wrote mein kampf whilst serving his prison sentence for his involvment.

As for goring not a nice person but anyone who can overcome an addiction to morphine by sheer will power is not to be under rated.
