Why You Should Never Hate

What is hate? In Wikapedia, the free encyclopedia, it describes hate as Intense feelings of dislike. In a more contemporary definition, The Penguin Dictionary of Psycology defines hate as a "deep, enduring, intense emotion expressing animosity, anger, and hostility towards a person, group, or object." In this guide, we are going to look at the word hate and explain to the reader why it has such an impact on you if you are the one who is now experiencing hate.

MENTAL

To install the feelings of hate in one's mind, the brain will show increased activity in the frontal gyrus, in the frontal pole, and in the medial Insula. Basically, most physicians and psychologists determine that hate is more of a disposition that an emotion. It is more likely that in the context of hate, the one who hates may want to exercise judgment in calculating moves to harm, injure or otherwise take revenge on the one they hate. The hater does not sense a way to fix or heal, since anxiety is the first primary responce when seeing or thinking about the one they hate. Here's a quote from a psychoanalyst on the relationship between love and hate: "Persistent hate always reveals itself as a derivative of frustrated love".

PHYSICAL

To not have the Idea of fixing, or wounding the disposition. a hater will go on the attack or defense mode. Your body, as well as your brain, fixates on chemical reactions, resulting from a negative responce to your body. Your negativity triigers your stomach, your muscles, and most importantly, your heart. Your blood pressure increases, and the implication of hate drives an impact on your nervous system that just basically makes you sick.

So, hate does do damage to the body. It not only gives off a negative reaction to an otherwise healthy body, but it also deteriorates. Hate, like jealousy and vengence, is an actual "poison", and after so much time inserting this into your psyche, your body will take it's toll.

RELIGIOUS

The word hate comes up 90 times in the bible, yet the word love comes up nearly three times over this amount. In Christianity, hate is split into three groups; A certain feeling over that which is evil or wrong, A malicious and unjustifiable feeling towards others, and to love less than.

"He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother , is in the darkness even until now. He that loveth his

brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes" (1 John 2:9-11).

So, Apparently, God himself does not like hate. God hates sin, yes, but in this guide, we are exposing the definition of hate toward one another. We are to love the person and just hate the sin they created. Jesus said in Matthew 5:38-44, Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you,Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. In Matthew 5:38-39, it is written, "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Hate is seen here, as something that is not good directed at an enemy. The bible does state that there are certain things that we are to hate, but in retaliation, or revenge, hate is considered not a choice standard to live by. We are to actually love our enemies. Why? Because showing your enemy that you do love them, shows them that from your prespective, hate is not an option. it doesn't work on you. Therefore, hate will not work for them, and eventually, for whatever reason the person hated you for in the first place, will go away. This is more of a fix to get rid of a dispostion, or feeling, rather than installing hate back. This is truely the way all should feel. To even love your enemy, as well as love the one's who love you.

SPIRITUALLY

The word spirit takes on a broad band of definitions, but here, we are going to use the word spirit as:

A life conceived from the physical part of our bodies. An essence, a force, an enrgy. A presence of existence not associated with our physical realm, but in existence with it.

To be spiritual, one of the worse attributions to to having a healthy spirit, is to hate. The negativity alone overrides the ability to actually feel free spiritually. Hate actually restricts a spiritual feeling. In my own personal feelings, there is no such thing as a hatred spirit, just hate. To create a spiritual relationship religiously or freely, hate will limit your essence, creating a "poisonous" persistance to your spirit, dis-allowing you to create or maintain a good spirit. To be free spiritually, is to not hate, because hate is a chain that ties you down spiritually and creates a short coming to a healthy spirit. Hate takes away, it doesn't give. So, to have a great spiritual life, hate must be dissolved, abhored, and stripped from the mind, as well as the heart, because this is where the spirit is also created.

OVERALL

To make this a general approach for everyone, hate has absolutely no benefits whatsoever. To hate someone in your life, whether it was a loved one, family, stranger, or group, you are doing nothing but creating a negative impact on yourself. you might even take an action, resulting in dire consequences. Love your enemies. Love the one you think hates you and you might find out that they might not even hate you, they might just love you, but had a circumstance of sorts that brought out this disposition of hate.
