Hate is a powerful word. We prefer using dislike, disapprove and all these substitutes, but deep down we know that we HATE whatever it is.
We set our own limits for the kinds of hate we feel. Sometimes it is so overpowering that one cannot think of anything else. Sometimes it's like a piece of coal on a hookah, burning itself out slowly.
Often, hate gives way to indifference and indifference gives way to hate. It is like a chemical reaction that can go either way. It pretty much depends on the length of time you've been hating. haha
A lot of people say one shouldn't waste energy on hating, that they could do so much more if they didn't hate. I respectfully and very strongly disagree. Hate, dislike, and such assorted feelings are motivation to work to be able to say to the other person , In your face.
Perhaps the satisfaction of doing that is unmatched by anything else.
Much as the people in this world would like to say that they do not hate, are peace loving people etc etc, which they might be, no one can deny the fact that everyone hates.
Much as we'd like to be a society filled with love, understanding, compassion and all such things, we all have our moments of strong negative feelings.
Of course every individual decides the magnitude, length, breadth, depth and all that, but it is impossible to disregard the presence of these feelings, however deep one buries them.
We, as a society still exist because the good overpowers the bad. The tales talk of the triumph of good over evil. A lot of things go into the grey area. If people started sorting them in just black and white, life would be so much more difficult than it already is.
Hate doesn't necessarily equal violence. Staying true to my sun sign, I hold grudges for a long time and am terrible at forgiving people. But I do not necessarily go ahead and punch those people in their face, much as I would like to.
Perhaps we all realize that violence is not going to help us, maybe the effort put into achieving something big , if only to say "in your face" will. And that's pretty harmless, if I may say so.
