Anger as “a strong feeling of displeasure or animosity” and hate as ”an intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger or a sense of injury.”
“hate” as “a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action”.
Human brains are different than those of other animals. Research has shown that a highly developed part of our brain called the amygdala plays a major role in violent rage and hate. Other animals besides humans have an amygdala, but in less complex brains the amygdala is not as connected to other parts of the brain as it is in humans. After operations that deactivate the amygdala, uncontrollably aggressive monkeys become tame and docile, other animals coexist peacefully with natural enemies – vicious dogs coexist peacefully with cats, and cats with mice. The amygdala in humans is part of our highly complex limbic system. This part of our nervous system is key in human emotions and automatic responses. A person’s amygdala is linked to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Interestingly, our amygdala is also linked to the area in our speech center that controls obscenities.
We hate because we feel at the deepest levels of our psyche that we are being threatened. It is easier to understand a person’s hate when they or their loved ones are directly threatened with harm but harder to understand hate and violence when it is directed at a person or group that is not a direct threat to someone’s physical wellbeing. Challenges to our belief system, our way of making meaning for our lives, can evoke the powerful primal fight or flight response. The same advances that link our primal responses to our meaning systems are also what allow us to overcome these responses. We are not at the mercy of the fight or flight response or the primitive part of our neural system that allows only for generalizations.

The Bible calls it the sin nature-mankind's inherent bent toward selfishness and self gratification above all else. We are born into it. How many toddlers have you ever seen that had to be taught how to throw a tantrum, or tell a lie, hit to get what they want, etc. ? Have you ever wondered why this comes so naturally to us?
The answer is forgiveness and a restored relationship with our Creator -through His Son's sacrifice of His life in place of our own as punishment for our wrongs. Not that a baby would die seperated eternally from God, but we eventually do reach the age of reasoning where we get to use that free will to study the Bible & decide whether to believe God & do life His way, or make our own way.
You get what you choose along those lines, and the old saying comes to mind "You are either a part of the problem or a part of the solution".

There are many things:
1. fast life, it really does not give people time to ponder about the beautiful things in life
2. Difference of opinion in the family, office, etc.
3. Gals/Guys- well! that causes jealousy
4. Some always complain about not getting chance
5. Somewhere along the line maybe it's also everybody, we don't show our concerns or be more proactive about our own rights.
6. The tendency of looking down on people who you don't like.

Who's to say what is beautiful and what is destructive? Who's to draw the line between acceptable and absurd, good and bad? Everything boils down to perception, but that's just my point of view.

This is a good question, which I always wanted to ask the great Serbian freedom fighter Dr. Radovan Karadzic.

Hate comes from being too occupied on external matters. How much money your friend earns, how pretty do you look, how much nuclear weapon that country has, etc.
We need to look internally. What do we live for, what makes us happy, what is my weakness, how i can be a better me.

So long as we do not insist that others follow what we consider good, there is no conflict. The conflict comes when we act otherwise.
