I hear on a daily basis (especially while driving taxi) people using the word hate for many, many things. I also see the word hate here in many threads/posts. From inanimate to all things living. My usual response is "Don't hate. It's where all other four letter words, and then some, come from". (It usually, at least, gets a laugh) While there are, and more than likely always will be, things to be 'tired of' hate is inconducive. Just because I don't know how someone can believe in god (no substance), is attracted to the same sex (which I've never had a problem with), is a different color (never a problem there either), or treated me badly (had a time getting over this one), and so on, doesn't make it right (or conducive) to hate. None of us have the right anyway.
You can hate me. But I will not hate you back. My life is much better without it. Try living without hate.

From Dictionary.com...
1. to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry.
2. to be unwilling; dislike: I hate to do it.
Hatred (or hate) is a deep and emotional extreme dislike, directed against a certain object or class of objects. The objects of such hatred can vary widely, from inanimate objects to animals, oneself or other people, entire groups of people, people in general, existence, or the whole world. Though not necessarily, hatred is often associated with feelings of anger and disposition towards hostility against the objects of hatred. Hatred can drive oneself to extreme actions. Actions upon people or oneself after a lingering thought are not uncommon. Hatred can result in extreme behavior including violence, murder, and war.
I definitely thank my Mother on a daily basis for being the teacher she has been to me.
There are too many links to post on the 'results of hate', so here is the starting "Google" page...
Other words suffice depending on circumstances
ie angry? resentful? hurt? We all have these...but to call those emotions hate means (to me) that we are not truly aware of what we are feeling at all.

I can't relate to folks who hate someone because that person looks different than the hater. There are several folks in my neighborhood who are extremely prejudiced. One lady whom I like and used to admire told me she'd immediately put her home on the market if someone of color moved into the cul-de-sac. How sad to miss out on the possibility of meeting a new friend. It's awfully draining, too, IMO.
I think it's pretty clear that when someone says they "hate when this happens" they aren't referring to literal hate. I think taking "hate" literally as if it's meant that seriously all the time is being dense. It's a bit like thinking that because someone says "love ya, bye" on the phone, they want to marry you. Not quite. Both "love" and "hate" do have more casual meanings in many instances.
If the hatred of others wearies one's soul... then one will always weary. It's too much... all u can do is show ur love it's the most powerful weapon against hate.
Nicely worded, nimchimpsky. That's the only time I use the word "hate" and did that on a very recent post. I think it was about forgetting to put out the trash bin for pickup ... "hate when that happens." Hate is a terrible emotion and such a waste of thought and energy. I don't have to hate the things I'm against. For example, if I encounter someone abusing a child or animal, I will do whatever I can to stop them. That's not hate. It's taking action to help, assist, do what's right.

Hate is a very real emotion and part of being human. Everybody on the planet has felt it some time in their life and will feel it again. It is what it is..... reality.
