Hate or hatred is an emotion of intense revulsion, distaste, enmity, or antipathy for a person, thing, or phenomenon. It is generally attributed to cause a desire to avoid, restrict, remove, or destroy the hated object. The emotion is the opposite of love.
Hatred can be based on fear of its object, or past negative consequences of dealing with that object. Hatred is often described as the opposite of love or friendship; others, such as Elie Wiesel, consider the opposite of love to be indifference. People may feel conflicting and complicated emotions or thoughts involving hate, such as love-hate relationship.
Often "hate" is used casually to describe things one merely dislikes, such as a particular style of architecture, a certain climate, one's job, or some particular food.
"Hate" or "hatred" is also used to describe feelings of prejudice, bigotry or condemnation (see shunning) against a person, or a group of people, such as racism, and intense religious or political prejudice. The term hate crime is used to designate crimes committed out of hatred in this sense.
Hate is often a precursor to violence. A populace is sometimes trained via political propaganda to hate some nation or political regime. Hatred remains a major motive behind armed conflicts such as war and terrorism.

Hare is a mental compound forming enmity towards another which one contends is intractable. The assertion that there is no reconciliation possible is essential to an absolute or true form of hate' rd, while the naive belief that hate is necessarily an emotional reaction or even sin is an extreme delusions!
The primary origin of hate is the defilement or loss of someone or something that was otherwise the essence of ones affections and devotions. Literary expressions often make light if the term hate and that is where it acquires it's tendency to be not taken seriously .

Contrary to popular belief, hate is NOT the opposite of love. The opposite of love is indifference. The reason is, because when you hate someone or something, you are still connected to that particular person or thing (meaning that ou are still somehow interested in it, whether it be for vengeance or spite). However, when you are indifferent to something, you share no connection, because you don't care what happens to that person or thing. That is why hate is not the opposite of love.
Hate, is a strong dislike... it can become so strong, that it can incite one to take action and hurt or damage that which is hated. However, action does not need to take place... just the desire of taking strong action constitutes hate as well.

Just watch the news. That is hate. That is what hate brings.
Hated = death.
Don't hate. You don't have to love everyone, just don't hate anyone either.

Hate is what you dont accept in yourself, so when you spot it in others you start hating them though you are actually hating the same trait in you.
Self acceptance is the end of all hate, when you accept yourself completely, you are automatically at peace with the world, no matter how much turmoil you see around you.

hate...the feeling you get in the pit of your stomach...that is usally spurred on by one's belifes or ideals that have been imposed on us at an early age. I say there is a diference between the kind of "hate" you would have for "the stuck up girl/boy" and the hate you would have for oh lets say..a certin race

It is a kind of feeling. Some biological chemistry is involved in hating as well.

It depends on what you're talking about. It could mean strongly dislike or for example if someone is talking about someone else and they say "don't hate" it means they're jealous of that person.
