Is hating people always wrong?
To hate people is always wrong -
However irritating a person is, there will always be a question as whether you hate them, or just loathe them with a raging anger.
It brings into question; What does a person have to do to earn your hatred? Do they have to hurt you, prove you wrong, or does everything they do somehow irritate you? Statistically 55% of people have an arch-rival or person that they hate. But what about the remaining 45%? Have they made peace, or simply taken the opportunity to ‘knock them off’? I have found that this can take things too far – in my opinion what can’t be solved with a baseball bat in a dark alleyway?
As a child, we are always told to solve our differences and disagreements together, using no violence at all. We are made to be friends, not spend our young lives hating each other. I still remember seeing a bumper sticker on a pink Hummer, that said ‘Be reasonable. Do it my way or no way.’ This reluctance to deviate from our plans shows our true nature, that naturally, we are suspicious and unwilling to accept others views, but maybe hate can teach us to control our emotions. Many people find that hate makes them strong, in exercise or in the mind.
I find that we should always exhaust every alternative before resorting to hate. The bible makes it very clear that we should ‘Love our neighboour’ as we do ourselves, suggesting that no matter how much dislike we have for a person, we should try to forgive, forget put the past behind us. Hate is often said to be a strong word, showing that you withhold the utmost revolt for the person. Writing them off as hated can mean that you can quickly assume that they are wrong. And, we all know what assume does – makes an ass out of u and me.
So, if we are all unable to contain our emotions, like 55% of people, we would do some awful thing. We should always seek to make amends and patch the hole left open. Maybe knocking off should come after that! But remember – if you build up too many
