Where Does Hate Come From?

[Jazzy]

Does hate come from ignorance or are people just born to hate? What do you hate and what made you feel hatred? Is this a normal feeling or is this something more deep rooted in each of us?

I hate 1 person in my life.



My hatred for him comes from the anger I feel for what he's done. If I saw him again I would beat him to a pulp :/

Judging from the amount of wars in human history... People definitely hate... a lot.

Of course... but even if those make up 99% of all wars there's still a lot of hatred.

 

[Raven]

Yep. Was meaning hatred through those things

 

[Evil Eye]

And let's not forget relations.

Everyone remember Troy?

 

[Raven]

I think that had to be the biggest hatred war in History

I think hate derives from a mixture of disappointment and anger that we just don't let go.

Hate comes from ignorance, fear, greed, betrayal, superiority, what our parents have taught us, and the way we were raised. We will never be able to eliminate hatred, but we can always try to keep things as peaceful as possible.

People's hate usually stems from the fear of the unknown or not understanding another person's culture or way of life.



I don't hate anyone as hatred is an useless emotion that ends up destroying everything that matters most to you in the end if you let it.



I remember a story I heard a long time ago during a school assembly. A man who had suffered greatly during the holocaust and after all that was done to him and his family by the Nazis. He could live life without having any hatred for the many who wronged him so terribly that it made me ask myself what makes me so special that I need to hold hatred for others when this man who has every reason to be filled with hate is able to overcome it and be free of hatred. To this day, I never held hatred for another as I said to myself, if he can be free of hate then so can I.

People aren't born with hate. We slowly build up hate over time as we see how sick the world can be.
