this is probably a really stupid question but i just dont get it, why is there so much hatred in our world? why is there so much pain? and why cant we try harder to stop it? i find myself always taking granted for all the luxuries i have yet ppl all over the world are suffering.......

also idk about u guys but i personally find it easy to judge and hate differences as well
i wish there was a better way we could live life.....

lemme know what u guys think and also try not to put too many hateful comments on here :P

Hate is a natural thing for the human mind. Hate contributes to history.

For example, if the colonists didn't hate King George III, The United States would not exist.

Most of history is about one person hating the other.

50-page history books? No thanks.

Hate, derived from whatever cocktail of negative emotions, seems like a defense mechanism. Much easier to kill someone and take their food if you hate them.

Hatred is a human emotion. If we don't hate, we don't feel. I personally dont want to end up like those people on equilibrium...

For the sake of our mental health, we should try and vent our hatred in a less harmful way than direct conflict. Go paint a picture, run a mile, bake a cake, whatever releases that energy. That's sublimation by the way.

The harder you try to fight hate, the more it tries to get out, i guess you could try to fight it,but you wont win.
