You can't hate something and feel nothing.....

There is a very fine line between hate and love... Hate is a very big emotion, as unfathomable as love in the bad extreme. So its not possible to say that you feel nothing towards a person you hate...you hate them, so you care for them, they have some value in your life...just the same as the issues that you hate, you care enough to feel this great negative emotion towards it... Don't you think so? if not, can you tell me your point of view?

I believe hatred has levels to it. And these levels are set by the current emotion we are feeling. For example, I can say " I hate ice cream" but that doesn't mean I won't eat it every again. I could add though " I absolutely hate THIS ice cream" It shows a more specific grounds and gives a motive as to why. With this said hate and love are comparisons. I can say " I love this ice cream" That is just saying "this ice cream is great more pl0x." If I was to stress more, " This ice cream is to die for that is how much I love it" well...I wouldn't want to be near the person when it runs out. Now to say, "There is a special hatred for this person" does not mean you can't be friends or even be civil. It just means you and that person have issues. For example though, I hate math, but I am good at it. I love my brother, but he is annoying as hell. There are just levels of hatred and love both.

The little I remember from psychology in college, hatred and love are both emotions, however, there are two different forms of emotions. There are reaction emotions and constant emotions. Hatred and love are constant while happy is a responsive.

I think hate is a very toxic emotion. I agree with your statement about feeling something for a person. You have to have some feeling for them to hate them. I think sometimes we hate what they do or don't do and we categorize it as 'hate'. It is more hating the action or lack of it than it is hating the person.

True indeed. Hatred will always carry with itself certain feelings and they won't go away. So far I've not heard of anyone hating somebody and say they feel nothing LOL. If you hate something but don't feel anything, then I reckon it's equivalent to having no feelings at all, woah that would be so cold! I hated someone during high school, as he backstabbed me and my friend. See? There's always a reason behind anything. That's feelings

I agree that you can't hate and feel nothing. That power that controls your hate is what make you feel what you do. Just because what you feel is not something positive, it is still something that we feel.

Well if you hate a person or just really dislike them, you have to feel something. You do in fact care. There are a lot of people that I am indifferent for, but I don't hate them. I just don't think them. However, when I dislike something(never really truly hated someone), there are some strong emotions somewhere indeed.

Same here, but I had hated someone and I admit it can be a burden...thankfully I have learned to forgive...

I agree with you. I believe that you cannot actually hate something (or someone) unless you once loved it. You can detest something or despise something, that you haven't loved, but I think that you cannot hate something without loving it first.

I agree, hate is a feeling. If you have no feeling for a person then you can't feel love or hate. You just feeling nothing.

About this what i think is you can forget the one whom u lvu'd the most after when you find someone else.....but u can never forget the person whom you heat'd ...so never force youself to face this situation in your life....for this just be kind to all of them and behave politely to all even with them also who hurt'd you very badly ......and by doing this you'll experience what's the real life....( life of being kindness )....:) just try it out....??

Sometimes, hate derives from something that you hate yourself rather than others.you may regret your behaviour for long time while gradully ignore what your ever friend do that results in breaking up.hatre for others always fade off as time goes by,however the feelings of betrayal or deception will have a significant effect on you.
