Hate I think is a vasty overused word, I would like to state that it stems from fear, but alas my own hatred of bigots stems not from fear of them or what they may cause but from my own lack of tolerance for what I see as a backward ideal.
In my own heart I really cant see hatred as ever being justified as that emotion muddys things and causes all sorts of irrational behaviour. We should work towards ridding ourselves of it, we are all of the same species and it bodes us well to end hatred based upon no more than the accident of the place of our birth, or the belief or non belife we may hold (or not) in a creator God. There may have been an evolutionary benifit in the times when tribes raided each other, now I see no merit nor value in it so out the back door with it! Heh of course how is the question? How can I rid myself of my own hatred? On 2 Aug, 04:16, Chris Jenkins <[email protected]> wrote: > A counterpart to the previous thread on love... > > What is the nature of hate, in all its forms?
