What Do You Hate?

posted by sidewalker_Principle on AskPhuks

I hate stubbing my toe, smacking my wrists on extremities, waking up late, doing homework, sleep paralysis.

I hate the garbage television. I hate the garbage universities. I hate the garbage system itself.

I hate groupthink. I hate people who hate me.

I hate that my very existence is determined by other people.

I hate that I cannot explain myself properly.

I hate that the ones closest to me cannot understand me because of my failure of being able to explain myself.

I hate that I'm broke after paying rent.

I hate that people are dying needlessly all over the world.

I hate pedophiles.

I hate rapists.

I hate murderers.

Does this make me a hateful person?

What about subjectively?

If hate always effects you in a way you believe is negative, its probably fair to call that emotion negative in itself, so far as you are concerned for your own mind.

But of course all things being subjective subjective, one would be wise not to label hate as inherently bad or unhealthy in others, unless they are making poor decisions due to those emotions. There's nothing wrong with judging a person for their actions, but we can't really hope to be the thought police.

For example: one person might use their self-hate to fuel their weight lifting at the gym, and another might use that same emotion to justify beating their wife. Emotions can be powerful tools when implemented wisely, and dangerous weapons when control is lost. The only difference is the actions we take, and the judgments we make of ourselves and others.
