I hate it when... like today... I was eating a burger but it had a massive air pocket in the centre and I bite it and I burned my chin because it was filled with fat and oil YUCK, digusting, really churned my stomach, did not enjoy the rest of my meal after that!

[Basher]

How can you hate? or even dislike? I sincerely would like to know.

[TheRavenMother]

Would you like to eat a tablespoon of hot oil when you expected meat?
I bet you would hate that.

Hate doesnt have to be towards a living being, it can be about a quality of something, which makes you uncomfortable... when people hear the word hate they have an instant reaction of what it might be, they dont think deeper that it could mean discomfort, or something you'd rather not do... its like a phobia too, people say they hate spiders, but in actual fact they dont hate spiders they hate the fear associated with them.

You seem to be making the point that one word can have a different meaning to everyone, or multiple meanings to even the same person based on context? Then why even post on these forums? Please don't find hostility in that inquiry, I'm just trying to show you what I see as a false loop in your logic. I feel from your post that you were using it to mean what I would call discomfort, which looking deeper I would call fear of the unknown. It seems to me that in the dualistic world which I am longing to understand and consequently transcend, everything can be simplified into fear and universal love. Maybe that's why I have trouble accepting the concept of hate.

I hate bullies and phoniness.

[Basher]

I hate bullies and phoniness.

Or, more accurately, you feel compassion for those who are too afraid to be themselves?

I don't intend to project myself onto this thread so I'll stop now.

"Hate"?
I don't 'hate' much.
I may use the word 'hate' sometimes, but it doesn't usually carry much weight. I like to understand why I feel whatever I feel. When I really look at it, 'hate' rarely fits the feeling. There are times when it does fit, though.

There are things I dislike to varying degrees...

On one side:
*Pompous / Pretentious people.
On the other side:
*People who can learn, but refuse to do so.
*People who take pride in their ignorance.
*People who make opinions, but refuse to do the skull sweat to understand or support their own opinions.
"That's what I think!" "Why? That makes no sense..." "Because I do, that's why! Stop asking questions!!"

I greatly dislike: (In no particular order)
*Neo-nazis, Klansmen, etc...
*Rabid Dogmatists (Dogmatic Religious Frothmouths. Including some Atheists)
*Proselytizers (Actually, it's nice when they come around; It saves us the cost of dogfood) {Evil grin}
*Belligerant pissants who insist on shoving their bile down my throat or that of others who've done nothing
to deserve that kind of treatment. Esp. if these belligerants are repeat offenders, and/or showy cowards.
(Meaning ppl who'll back you into a corner, then turn coward when they see that you're not going to cringe in terror; You're still standing.
In that situation, I just trust that I can be more mean than they think they are. If I'm not then oh well. lol)
*Injustice and unnecessary cruelty to others.

I have some more that drive me nuts, but those are even smaller things.
The list of what I love and appreciate is so much larger that I couldn't put it all here. Hell, I couldn't list it all if I lived forever. (Gods, I hope you won't stick me with that...)

Does this mean I'm an unevolved dirty savage? Maybe. {evil grin}
But that's for you to decide for yourselves... {chuckle}

[Patryc]

well if I must hate I would say I hate haters :P

why waste your time on hating - it's such a old game - go play solitaire or something else just as mind numbing..

move on, forgive, don't forget - must learn somehow but there's nothing worse than blocking your spiritual growth with hate which is basically a lack of forgiveness. So often I see two people who love each other end up hating each other simply because they aren't able to forgive over some petty little thing

aren't we bigger than hate yet people ?

[rug]

hmmm...

i think all the things we hate are the things we are gonna face in this life or the next

hate for me is related to fear

[Patryc]

true - hate for me brings up the following

fear, judgment, anger, stubborn

all things I've had enough of ..

[Leuxnotik]

I agree with both of you, Rug, and Patryc.
Obsessive hate (hate as a way of life) is something that should be grown past. That sort is mostly made up of and driven by fear.

But if it's just extreme anger or frustration at a ridiculous situation here at the house, I go out and do some heavy work. It helps me vent, and is productive at the same time.
For years, if I had to hit something, I'd hit walls, pillars, etc.. to avoid swinging on someone in anger. Even if they truly deserved it. I'd put all my anger and power into the shot, and it'd go away in one punch usually.
Immediately afterwards, I loved life again! (9/10 times)

But I'd acknowledge the feeling, and the cause, roll it around in my mouth figuratively, then I'd get rid of it in a harmless way.
I believe all emotions are important, and should be acknowledged, and handled responsibly, and without needless harm to anyone else.

heheh

yer I had my last occurrence of that early last year - I think I punched a nice big dent in my car door

since then I can let go of it so easily now

I know it's not necessary anymore - I just walk off and let go

I'm a cloud

daggers pass through me I need not return them
