Hi there. In my personal opinion, I think to hate would be an easier thing to do because you don't care about that person and there for you don't have to sacrifice much. To love someone, is to put yourself out there, be there for that person you love an no matter what, make them your top priority. That take a lot of time and energy. However, to love will lead us to gave a happier life as we would have someone to share our moments and thoughts.

I guess easy is not really the word, because both of them are really hard to do, and not even that, it is also hard to compare. Most people would say it would be easier to love someone, yes it is but the thing is how much time, effort and sacrifices can you do with the love you gave. Hating is also hard, knowing you think of thousand things to hate a person, sometimes you even come up with a plan to sabotage that person. I guess in life, there is really no easy way first its always the hard way first.

Perhaps, you may wish to interpret this question like this: Which of the two habits is easier to be acquired by humans? For example, all things considered, if a young baby is allowed to learn either of the two habits (to love or to hate,) which habit would this child has less effort learning to do?
In this case, perhaps, it would depend on the type of values the person in charge of nurturing this child possesses. Why? If the caregiver is of bad 'ilk', then this child would be more inclined to do evil things; than good deeds. The 'reverse' to the previous argument presented earlier in this paragraph, may also be true.
In my opinion, it is easier to hate than to love. I think that in reality, there are many bad influencial situations that exist, which are often 'deemed' popular. Therefore, in this regard, it may take more effort from the 'average' person to keep him/her focussed (and steered) in the correct, upright and noble direction.

I think both come instinctively. They both take up a lot of energy, and consume you from the inside. But I guess that love wins. Just if each of us thinks of how many people they love and how many people they hate, I think that the greater number is always to the ones we love. We live in a society where we depend on each other, where we live by each other every single day, so it is very easy to develop some kind of love for the persons around.

It is easier to hate. You must learn to love, hate come easy, you have to fight it off. Anything worth having is hard. And hate is not worth having, so it is easy.

I think to hate is so much easier. When you love, you also tend to hate the person at the same time. So it's harder to love, you see..
