Real Hate
The definition of hate reads as this: “intense dislike, or extreme aversion or hostility.” In a different dictionary it is this: “extreme dislike or antipathy.” In a third definition it is: “intense animosity or dislike.” Notice that in each of these definitions, word choice like intense or extreme is used. In average lives, there are only a limited number of ideas or objects that are truly hated, yet the word “hate” is used commonly in everyday conversation. The reason for this is that this word has become yet another socially accepted term, like LOL or OMG. “I hate school.” “I hate that girl.” “I hate this sport.” Each of these statements can be heard every day in normal conversation, yet of these statements have any meaning behind them. In reality, hate is an intense, dangerous emotion that is used to describe an object, person, or idea that one holds incredible animosity towards. When the word “hate” is used frivolously, where it is not needed, it has the ability to cause more trouble than one may think. Alongside that, it is often used too broadly, and will not have meaning until it is specific.
Hate is used as an “umbrella” term, and is used on subjects that are too broad. A good example of this is when students say they hate school. Not only is school academic, but it is also social. School is where friends associate, and most students enjoy this. Most students have a favorite class, so they certainly don’t hate that time. So what part of school do they actually “hate?” Then when asked if they would want to quit school they say “Of course!” But when one thinks about it, school is what builds up the rest of our lives to success. One cannot possibly hate something that causes happiness in a well educated life. Other examples include saying “I hate her,” which causes questions like why and who, and statements like “I hate my parents” cause judgment, in that bystanders will stereotype one as a rebel. If one said “I hate her because she betrayed me,”
