why so much hate??????????

Hi there, your discussion has just reminded me of a song I love called 'where is the love' by the Black Eyed Peas. Good question. I do not like the word hate and very rarely use it. Bitterness and anger only hurts the person feeling those emotions rather than the person they are bitter or angry towards, so I'd rather live my life forgiving and asking for God to come into that persons life than act in any other way. It is very difficult at times to do this but I try, I don't always succeed either but I try. Also I believe the more love you give out the more you will receive back eh! Why is there so much in todays' society, I don't know the answer to that one, maybe the breakdown in family structures, community support and a me, me, me, more, more, more attitude that many have today. The people that hate so badly are probably the people that need to be shown the most love as they have been so hurt in the past their only way to release this is through these negative emotions rather than being counselled and taught to respond and react differently. Shame, and also if people live with critismthey learn to condemn as the saying goes and oh that is so true. Ellie :D

Life is more stressful and it seems like less and less people are happy with their lives. They probably don't like how their lives turned out and end up taking frustrations out on others and some can be extremely cruel about it. Me? Well I admit I have had my moments because I have a hard time letting go of the past which is also bad. But thats what I think.

Something I had to learn a long time ago when I did feel so much hate was to let it go. It just burns up your valuable time and eats away at you. I have changed so much and hate really don't seem to be in my vocabulary but like you say, there is so much of it. I just think everyone needs to focus on the positives and instead of focusing so much on themselves, look for others who need and try to help them. I avoid the news because it is mostly negative. When someone does something bad I try to figure out what would cause them to do it instead of getting mad. I guess that comes with age. Plus I have been learning and reading more and more about being positive and releasing the negative stuff. I think a lot of people today are scared too and it comes off as anger and hatred. And I am sure you will agree how judgemental so many have become. To me it seems everyone is aiming the negative, hate and anger at everyone else and not taking a good look at themselves. I have been trying hard not only to be more positive but to encourage those around me to. Life sure is a lot easier and difficulties are a lot easier to get through when were not bogged down already with hate and anger. Hope you, your day and those who surround you all have a joyful day.

If you are up to reading, here are a couple of somewhat recent discussions I responded to. This may give insight to the problem http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1451201.aspx - Why blame God? http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1436844.aspx - Why blame others In today's world people are blame prone. May have their legitimate grievances, but others will blame to justify things. There are also people who'll blame and be angry at others due to the common things going wrong in their lives. Other people are angry based on their allotment/"lot" in life. If people have more, others look at how less they have and sink into jealousy..soon after that, anger. There are also individuals and groups who get angry at others that do not share their viewpoints. This can be found in many aspects of life and society: political, religious, legal, societal, lifestyle. Its actually interesting when compared to the common rhetoric of "equality" and "tolerance". Some really don't want this, they want more...more than everyone else... or they want to be "right". Even if they aren't "right" they'll seek something else, "power". People want certain things be they "right" or "wrong" and if others don't follow suit, they are met with anger, shaming, intolerance, belligerence... If they can't be "right"/(have it their way), they'll get angry. Angry at others preventing or resisting it. Angry at their governments for not allowing it. Angry because things aren't going their way.

I know exactly what you are talking about because I see it everyday when people are mean to each other...I mean why do we spend so much time treating each other bad when we could just treat other good and make everyone's day alot easier so I don't really understand why...I mean I try to be nice to everyone until I have a great reason not to be nice to them and that is hardly ever that I am mean to someone...so I just dont understand why people are mean...

hi there,for your doubt,i really have not see it around me,most peoples here are very friendly,when somebody needs help,they will surely to help.So,don't be disapointed with this world,face it actively and then you can get a surprise.Smiles to the people around you cause smiles are catching,it will make people happy.

Because there are so many people not doing the right things these days... People who don't do you right makes you angry and so in turn you sometimes become like them which also angers other people. It's just cause and effect. If you are a good person, you end up frustrated and angry also so that's why there are a lot of angry people just full of hate because of the pain they feel or the lack of it.

Hi asgtswife, I don't see it around me very much, probably because I live in a small town. I find that most people are very friendly. Of course I hear and read a lot about such things. Many people haven't learned the basics about life. we all need more patience, we need to smile for smiles are catching. These are just a couple of things that we can do to help turn things around. Where there is hate, people have a big problem. Blessings.

Hi sweetie!! I honestly think it's because we hear more about the bad in our society than we do the good. It's always the bad that hits the news first and why that is, I don't know. I guess more people are attracted to the bad than the good? We need to turn that around some how and get the media to air the good things in life instead of the bad in hopes to turn our world around. You see, criminals love attention so if we were to turn it around that they didn't get attention, maybe it would change another one's thoughts of turning to a life of crime and if the media would air the good things more then maybe the person who would've done the crime instead do something good to get that attention that they're craving. Negativity has a lot of company and we need to change that but we're only one person so it would be hard to do so we need to band together and change our world for the better. I'm working on it!!

Yes,I agree with you!There are more and more get crazy.I wonder what they want to do and what they want to get.The life is so happy now.I hope they can sop the things they are doing now.Everyone want to have a peace and happy word.

Maybe because the world isn't like it used to be, people aren't as easy going and caring. People are just living to live, and not to enjoy them selfs, most people don't realize they only live once and they can't take anything back once its done, sad.
