Re:
That seems to be the general consensus, Utah. The feeling of hatred is apparently too strong of a negative emotion for people to want to carry around with them. That's not a bad thing!

Re: Re: Re: i would love to give you feedback dear friend. I don't know how
I think I know what you're saying, Kabu. You would be more inclined to "hate" the action than the person. But like I wrote, every circumstance is different. I pray you are not put to that kind of test too!

There are many I love, and some that I don't like very much, but none that I hate.

Re: Re: i would love to give you feedback dear friend. I don't know how to hate
probably not, more like pain that they were so mean to someone who never tried to upset them.
Now if someone harmed, I mean really harmed Wiley or say raped my precious Granddaughter...then I don't know. It is sort of, hurt me all that you want but don't hurt those that I really love. Please God that I am never put to the test.

Re:
I suppose, Bright, that that would be considered a "love conquers hatred" scenario. That's even better. I have heard that compassion is supposedly one of the most difficult things for the human heart to learn. But if we all had it, the world would be a much better place!

Re:
That's good too, luster. There are many people who will always find the good in others, and not fall into the trappings of hatred. Love is strong . . . hate is strong, and each one seems to be predicated on people's reactions to each other. But I say . . . peace!

Re:
That's one way to look at it, JKosef. Like I wrote, no one really wants to hate anyone. But I guess you wouldn't want to hold a lengthy grudge either! Yeah, there are some monsters out there!

Hi Jimmy .. Only once in my life did I think there was hate in my heart but when this person was suffering I felt compassion and reached out to help.

Re:
I'm glad, Sam. Like I wrote, hate is a very strong word, as it is a very strong emotion. For many people, it would take some really extreme circumstances to have one person honestly say that they hated someone else. But that emotion is still out there, as are the various causes. It would be nice if nobody hated anybody. Isn't that the basis for Paradise, Shangri-La and Heaven?

Re:
That's good too, FSI. Some people have conquered that emotion. I guess it's like smiling versus frowning. Smiling takes less effort and fewer muscles, and can please those around you. Hatred usually only breeds more hatred, and helps or pleases no one!

Re: JimmyA
No, Wiley, I'm no undercover psychotherapist working for the government! I just thought this was an interesting topic to broach. If I was working for the government on this one, not only would I have asked for donations to fund a useless program to study this, but my results wouldn't be ready for another two years!

Re: i would love to give you feedback dear friend. I don't know how to hate
That's actually good, Kabu. Like I wrote, hate is as equally strong an emotion as love, and I know no one wants to hate anyone. Dislike sounds a little more pleasant, like you're simply disagreeing with someone. However, there are times when certain types of people can spark hatred. For example, let's say some faceless person was constantly sneaking into your yard and smashing your gnomes for no other reason than to be mean and spiteful. You don't think that eventually those incidents will spark some kind of hatred in you toward that individual?

i would love to give you feedback dear friend. I don't know how to hate..
perhaps i have never been tried to that depth. I have hated deeds, still do but the person...know. Dislike yes, but hate No. that is a very strong and self distructive emotion.
Just as I may dislike, I like a lot of people and love special ones. Like Blogit, communicating so regularly and sharing, teasing and sharing pain, one feels a love for friends. Blogit community are important to Wiley and me and we really care for other bloggers. It is a friendship love for sure.
And of course I love to love and be loved in return; sharing love with Wiley.
