why we say "hate" more than "love" ?

Answer 1

I think we use both about equally, and just as loosely. "I hate that show." "I love that contestant on American Idol." "I hate liver." "I love chocolate chip ice cream."

Answer 2

Because it's easier, and it's a pervasive thing within our society. To say you love some one requires reflection and a lot of will power for some, some people use both words nonchalantly (because the meaning of both words to some extnt have been diluted throughout society), thus I think when many people use these words they don't know the linquistic history or grasp the full meaning of the words love and hate.
Both are strong words, and immature people (especially) when they use these words I thing are acting like immature children when they use these words nonchalantly. Think about it, I mean the context in which the word is used. Whe some one says, "Oh , I hate you!" they are throwing the word out there wiith impunity, that's something a spoiled child would do.
The opposite is true for the word love, people use it nochalantly, without practicing what they preach.

Answer 3

The h-word is not allowed in THIS house...we use "can't stand" or "don't like" in its place. I rarely use the h-word myself as there is just far too much of it in the world. I hate using the word hate - it is such an absolute evil word - the complete absence of love. It's easy give into hate, but it takes patience, tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, selflessness and sacrifice to love. I believe in LOVE and tolerance... where there is hate, there can be no love, so that is why it is forbidden to be used in my family. There is so much evil and hatred already in this world - why add to it bi using the devil's favorite word? IMO using the word hate just essentially opens doors to evil. I hate NO ONE... except the NY Yankees (as a team, not personally)... LOL.

Answer 4

Probably because there's more reasons to say hate than to say love. It's just a word.

Answer 5

i don't think we do, but i don't think it really matters either way. words are just words. hate, love, cat, dog,spoon...i think its so easy to throw these words around,and get put up and down when theyre said to you or about something you care about, but they don't mean anything at all. actions which are representative of these words are all that matter. your child says they hate you, but then crawls in beside you in bed at night. or your partner says they love you but ***** your best friend. it's all nonsense.
the obsession with saying or not saying love or hate seems like it could be straight out of a chapter from "the idiots guide to how we should be and act and talk". don't get sucked in! we're born with eyes and ears and instincts which should render words, especially words like love and hate, redundant.

Answer 6

I believe that this would be because we don't feel there is any reason to talk about the things we love, since there is no desire to have them changed. The things we hate, we want them to change, so vocalizing the hatred seems to be a good step to take to have this change come about.

Answer 7

I for one do not. I dislike the word hate and the feeling associated with it. I prefer to focus on the good and positive things in life.

Answer 8

it is easier to say than love because love means more than hate

Answer 9

In my house we say love every day (frequently), and we almost never say hate. I don't even let my kids "hate" brussel sprouts!

Answer 10

Because it is harder to love than it is to hate.
