Hating, since written history, seems to have been an essential part in human life. Scriptures such as the Holy Bible, the Iliad have some parts centered around this concept of hate.
However, while this is such a old concept seemingly deeply imbedded in human nature, I want to make a claim about a certain type of hate.
This type of hate is best portrayed by the following statement :
“I see this man. This man is ~ such of a person. I do not like him. I hate him”
Which seems like a pretty basic form of hate.
About this type of hate, I have to say this : “The more you hate, the more you become alike what you hate.”
To understand what I am claiming, You must possess knowledge on how us humans understand the world around us, especially how we understand our human counterparts.
To understand our counterparts, we try to mimic them. By this, we create small devices in our minds which serve as a direct communication.
When we decide to hate someone, especially when we decide to hate someone that we have relatively minimum contact with (i.e. political conflicts) we end up hating the parts in our brains.
This creates a dissonance in our brains, and leads to all weird states of mental illnesses.
Moreover, since our brains are terrible in doing something in reverse, we tend to do things that we especially hated about our subject.
The Holy Bible has addressed this problem perfectly. Saying “love your neighbors”. By this, what it essentially means is to love yourself.
If you think about it ever so deeply, you’ll also notice that you’ve never really gone so far by hating. You didn’t even make other people suffer. The sole being that can cause pain to one human is the human themselves.
The highest hate you can actually express to someone else is to going away from them, or making them go away. Just don’t think about them.
It doesn’t teach you to be a pushover.
