 Hate is a part of the range of the human emotions. Hatred
tends to emerge as an emotion that flourishes in the absence
of compassion.
Feelings of hatred or intense emotional dislike develop
for many reasons. Some people harbor hatred for others but
never acts on it. Others become energized by hate and
express their feelings through violent acts.
fear of “the others”
One reason we hate is
because we fear things that
are different from us. As
said by Patrick Wanis,
“Hatred is driven by two
keys emotions of love and

that is favored, aggression
we hate?
for the out-group – the
group that has deemed as
being different, dangerous,
and a threat to the in-
group.”
Fear of ourselves
The things people hate about
others are things that they
fear within themselves. We
repressed the things that we
thought were bad (what
others told us or suggested to
us) – and we employ hate
and judgement towards
others. We think that is how
one rids oneself of
undesirable traits, but this
method only make
repression which leads to
mental health issues.

People hate when they feel powerless. Rather than turning their anxiety and
shame inward, they may project that negativity onto an external target. In some
cases, people who experience bullying or abuse may grow to hate the person
who harmed them.

 If we feel hate: it means that something or someone is
actively diminishing us. Holding hate is something most
people can’t do safely, and it quickly ends up re-projecting
outward to then hurt those innocent around us. When feeling
hate: it’s time to being a process of release.
Hate can never be held; release hate, or it destroys the
heart where it resides. Keeping this emotion only leaves
destruction. Hate is anger’s second to the last step in the
march of personal destruction.

Hate is not an emotion to bottle up.

 How?
how do we overcome hate?

1. Talk to the person you hate.

If you hate someone, it feels better to stay away. But this isn’t
healthy.

2. Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a type of meditation where you focus on being
intensely aware of what you’re sensing and feeling in the
moment, without interpretation or judgement.
 3. Be more empathetic
Try to put yourself in the place of the person you detest.
Chances are you’ll understand their side of the story and soon
forgive them.

4. Divert your mind

Incase everything fails, this is the last resort. Keep your
distance, physically and mentally. Don’t think about it and
keep yourself occupied with other important things.
