It's a general standard question and I would like to read and learn from others.

I understand the Psychological factor
and not only, but still,,,,

your opinion is?

My view is that hate has evolved from a defence,or attack mechanism
when we were hunter gathers.
I'd think that animals need to have this for survival.

..damn, can't think of a decent reply...still, here's my best:

Got ntn~

Sir, I agree. Thank you for expressing your opinion.

I understand, but I wouldn't use the word...damn'...no offense to you. Thank you.

Thank you so much. This is the answer I was looking for. And yes I absolutely agree that behind a gentle heart, mind and spirit be it men and women there is always a hidden drama, memories brought back from the past, future and present and we learn a valuable lesson. Thank you, PJ. Welcome to the forums.

everyone has their motivations or "reasons" for their hatred of whatever it may be...
for me to genuinely hate something or someone I have to despise it's very existence
a complete disdain for it
rather see it dead than breathing
there's levels to hatred
everyone hates paper cuts or flies buzzing around their heads, the random annoyances of everyday life
and then there's the mentally disturbed who hate for no substantial reason other than they're f%#&ed in the head
and then there's pure hatred, no matter what this person or thing may do if the day ever presents itself u will leap on the opportunity to end it's existence because try as u may have u see no value or use in it's existence and u feel the need to destroy it
for me
its mayonnaise
I hate that s#@t

Hi lu, I also agree with PJcreative01's response.

Generally people who hate actually hate themselves or something within themselves. Rather than deal with their own internal conflict, they turn it outward.

So many examples and the list May Carry on.. Thank you, ko. I really do appreciate your answer. And In the end we are not perfect individuals.
I love mayonnaise, especially the one I make..home made one...but rarely consume it :)

Silly me. I was thinking of the real reason not the modern day interpretation!
It's nothing to do with your inner self! It's the actions of others again you or other people.
Unless you a terrorist or just plain crazy, then someone or something is telling you how to act!

Sir, please don't apologize. It is a valid point. Thank you so much.
Its the action of others, it's the action of us. It's us!

I feel that anyone with the capacity to Love also has the capacity to Hate.

I see hate as the extreme opposite of love.
There are no people in my world that I truly hate.
Mostly because I don't know them well enough to hate them.
There are a few people that I dislike for a few different reasons mostly pertaining to some wrong I believe they did to me when they didn't need to but for the most part even those people are distant and sporatic.

Hate consumes you much like love does. Hate causes stress and decreases your ability to find contentment. It breeds negativity and destroys your inner peace.

For a long time I lived in a world of hatred towards some people. I realized that it was a world of my own choosing. I figured out that I can not-like someone but hating them served no real purpose and the hatred was controlling me. I made an effort and gained control of myself and the hatred slipped away.

The world becomes a different place. A better world I hope. Thank you, again.

I admire your answer. I'm happy for you. Thank you, Tom.

Hate exists when there is an absence of love.

True, Thank you, mavis

Yin and yang


In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang describes how opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another...
