Say what you want about him, but when he ran the boston marathon last month, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of pride as he ran past me while I stood watching at the top of heartbreak hill Hotwater
Like homegirl said. Nobody else will ever be able to tell you when you hate or when you love someone. It'll just be apparent.
I don't understand things of this nature either... People hate people for the simple fact that it's easier to then it is to find their own flaws, so therefore humans take that out onto other people... I've had people hate me who have never met me (which if they met me I could possibly see why they would hate me, would be more understandable ) And I always would find it so strange that they had any feeling towards me when they haven't even been around me at all, I just shrug it off knowing that they have some own conflict and problems within themselves....
Most of the time I don't care enough about the person to hate them. "Hate" to me means spending time each day thinking about that person and being angry...maybe building a little hate shrine to throw rotten tomatoes at... I dislike people instead, which takes no energy at all because I simply ignore their lives...
I sure do strongly dislike this fellow: No, not the old retarded guy. The one with the glasses... yes, that one.
Well I actually dont believe that hate even exists, and I have my reasons, but to some they wont mean anything. I think hate is actually an obsession, not with the intended target, but with the source of the supposed emotion, aka the person who is feeling the hatred. Hatred is basically nothing more than ignorance and fear, and stems from either insecurity or anger, both of which are temporary illusions. And yes, even in everyone's favorite example "What if someone rapes my family member, should I not hate them?" my position on the matter still stands. Until you can prevent your emotions from blocking personal growth and doing what is right in the grand scheme, not what seems to be right right now, then I guess that will seem a laughable opinion to have. Dislike is something we have that also consumes and in turn wastes energy, but it is not as obsessive as hatred and is, I think, much harder to overcome since it hides itself behind an illusion of being an acceptable trait that 'everyone has' and therefor is just a part of life. Love is the only eternity, hatred never brings positive change and only furthers to trap us within stunted growth.
