LaTigresse -> RE: What causes a person to hate ? (5/5/2011 12:01:06 PM)

All I know and the only place I can speak from, is my own personal experience. I have seen what hate does to people. It is one of several, very negative and destructive, emotions/state of mind, that I will not allow myself to carry around. It has nothing to do with taboo, just personal preference. What others do, is of no consequence to me. Oddly enough, wishing bad things on, or being uncaring about another person's suffering or death only really occurs with me.....when I am at a point of not caring about that person one way or another. Or, I recognize more negative qualities in a person than good, perhaps even a certain sadistic interest in seeing them suffer for things they have done.......but still inside I don't have any emotion towards them. There have been people who have hurt/threatened those I love. I would still not say 'I hate them.' Rather, it is a desire to retaliate or even destroy, to eliminate. Thereby eliminating any further threat to others. Knowing they cannot hurt anyone again, type of drive. But once the situation is resolved, I quickly go back to a very positive and balanced place inside myself. I can even spend time around that person/s, if required, and be sociable. I just refuse to carry around any negative energy for any length of time. I prefer to deal and resolve, then move on.
