Whats with the hatered?

[Spawn190]

I see it everywhere, why is there so much of it?

I do not hate any one because of their views.

I will leave you with some words from a great man.
Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Well said. 🙂

Hating someone based on their views sounds like a position someone might take if they aren't so secure about their own views.

I don't hate people. I have a lasting dislike of ignorance and stupidity, but that can be dealt with, for the most part. I prefer to use sarcasm.

 

[Zerous]

Because trolls like to cause it. Simple as that.

It's unfortunate, but so long as there's two people on the internet, one of them is going to want the other one pissed off. No matter how much work it takes.

I have a dislike when someone's 'views' begin to affect the lives of those I care about. When they start forming laws that affect everyone, not just themselves. When they enforce their beliefs on others through violence and fear and just outright bullying.

No, don't expect me to love my enemies when they choose to cause pain to those I DO love. You may have the strength of your convictions to carry you, and your words work well on paper, but while you choose these feelings someone is losing their rights to another person's 'views'.

I'll choose to forgive when the pursuit of equality and fairness is the thought process behind all actions of men, until then~ no, I don't like seeing good people get beaten up for being the good people you want them to be.

In truth the internet isn't even necessary. Because when you think about it those people just enjoy pissing others off in general. The internet is just the quickest easiest way to go about doing that.



But even when you factor out the ignorant ones who like pissing off others purely for the sake of the reaction, hate is a natural thing. If I may offer an example:
I'm not about to tell a family that hates someone who molested their child that the hatered they have is wrong. There are just some people in this world that cannot be forgiven for their atrocious and horrible crimes.

The only true way to end hatered would be to have everyone in the world have the same opinions on everything and there's truely no good way to go about that.

My opinion has always been that emotions should not be completely neglected as each one has their own right to exist and should. The key is being able to control those emotions and understand the difference between understanding the emotion and letting it get out of control.

The solution? Robots.

Once we're all downloaded into machines all these problems will disappear~

(new ones will rise to take their place, of course)

MM this is true but i dont see it changing anytime soon. Alotta people i think just lack empathy for others. As bad as it is i dont see it getting any better honestly if anythin worse.

Hate is an unfortunate part of our daily reality. Hate is a force that will, for all time, be existent. All the love and care in the world cannot cure hatred, and all that can be done is to give and be right in our own lives, and encourage others to do the same. Beyond that, we must accept that evil and hatred will be there, and love all the same.

This will never happen because we have the State...

Get rid of the leech, and the infection will heal itself(naturally). But, the world isn't ready for anarchy for many, and(I mean) many more moons... At this point in time, it's about self-destruction.

To the above poster...

"Freedom" good. "Anarchy" bad. Seriously, without police and military, we'd be shit out of luck more often than not.

Haters are just going to hate, like this guy here, look at him and his stick :30:

On a serious note it's not pleasent at times I know, it's something however we have to go through. I like to believe there's a positive to be taken from most things, hate being a free source of energy to use on your life's path. Let it motivate you and make you perserver being you, it can only make you stronger.

Hear hear! 🙂

Well, human nature is human nature.

Some guy John Smedley created a MMORPG where people can just stand around and say nice things about each other, and generally just feel good about themselves. I think 9 people played it at its maximum.

World of Warcraft-- which caters to the desires of men and women everywhere to kill everything in sight-- just recently surpassed the 25 million mark.

 

[stroker]

I think its because its a lot easier for some people to feel superior or even adequate by belittling someone else.rather than making the effort to improve or accept themselves.

Trouble is folks never follow the old golden rule

"Do unto other as they would do onto you"

 

[Rox_My_Sox1]

Do unto other as they would do onto you.

I'm a big fan of "you reap what you sow" myself. ^_~

Don't fall into to trap... Many do, of calling people haters just because they disagree with you politically.

 

[tickletorments1]

I think its down to the age old problems of Envy, greed, being jealous, and so on.

With the added pressures of modern life, stress, intolerence, lack of understanding.

Then the situation with the media blowing issues up out of all proportion, and our old friend the political scene.

Its no suprise to me that hatered seems to be on the increase its not a perfect world.

 

[Kennethparker]

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. What love and hate have in common is that you care. Further we cannot avoid the word hate as well..

Noble words coming from the guy with an Obama bashing sig icon.
