The Deadpost Initiative - Week 32 - Share your most undervalued work (All SBD rewarded to participants)
I agree people, especially young people, are too quick to throw around the word “hate” when they really mean dislike. I also agree that when we identify something that needs to be changed, it is useless to just complain about; do something or find the right people to do something to effect change. I also agree that too many of us remain stagnated in hatred and do not examine the real root causes.
However, You point out several examples of when someone “hated” something and it motivated them to invent something to bring change. I have to say I think that’s an over simplification of the motivations for inventors. The sad truth is, for most humans, taking action on their hatred leads to horrors perpetrated against fellow humans. History is rife with horrific events, like genocide, that were fueled by unchecked haty.
What we need to do when faced with hate, is to find out the real reasons behind it. Those reasons always include fear, and almost always presumes a sense of superiority and societal privilege, and a set pervasive self-imposed delusions that their hate is justified or even scientifically or religiously supported. Real hatred is, in my estimation, a mental illness and requires substantive and qualified psychiatric care, as well as intensive education.

Most humans are afraid. The fear of what they hate spurs them to create horror. Why don't we find something positive about the object of our hatred and bring something good out of it. Thanks for your comment.

I agree. But, the folks who hate have not been taught the tools of critical thinking to permit them to find the positive in what they’ve learned to hate. They’ve grown up and lived lives enveloped in fear of the other. It will take far more than us just showing them the positive in others. They’ve been programmed to believe their hatred is right – even ordained. It will take reprogramming to change that, and that means psychiatric and/or psychological treatment. It also means teaching critical thinking to kids from the time they start school, truly educating them rather than just teaching to the tests.

Awesome post! I feel the same with people. Why would people hate so much and do nothing about it? If you hate it that much why shouldn't you prevent it in the future by changing something or at least try to change it and see what happens. I see so much people hating each other and just wasting time and energy on the hate when they instead can just transform the time and energy into something positive for all of us. I am not saying hate is not necessary. Hate should be used only to identify where to change the game. The aspect of the game. You hate for example the president, so assassinate him. I am just kidding, but you get the point. Stop the hate and start the change.
