Why is this world so full of hate?

the world is so full of hate because you have seen it as such. Look at the other side of the world and you will see that reality is as not as gloomy as you may think it is.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings

The world is one big chain reaction. A vast majority of people that "are full of hate" (for example: muderers, rapists, terrorist etc.) had/have a problem in their growing up. If peoples parents are irresponsible then their children grow up and have kids of their own and because of the example the parent has/had from their parents they follow the example their parents gave them, a bad one. Again this is not everyone but a majority. Those people that are brought up with no love can share no love, therfore a chain reaction.

Cause we're crammed too close together. Put hamsters in a bag (not literally) and they don't rest peacefully. They squirm, trying to escape each other. Hate is not a solitary emotion. It always has to have a subject. You can't "hate" in general. And we always see it in crowded situations like in an "angry mob". It's never the "angry lone guy".
Seriously. I think it's all got to do with land. Give someone their space and they won't hate.

Everyone is in a hurry, need to do this or that other humans just get in the way of your objective when your in a rush. technology is mainly to blame,the faster pace we make our lives the less we can enjoy out accomplishments. we need to slow down and "take time to smell the roses", if we slow down than we can relax the more relax we can be the nicer we more than likely will be to each other, we don't have time to help one another that is another problem so we need to start thanking about each other and start enjoying life. the greatest joy in life is to enjoy it

Love is everywhere, you just need to open your eyes. Love is everywhere, waiting for people to understand It's true meaning. I know it seems people are hopeless, because of all the things they do, but I believe people can become better. And find Love.

99% is jealousy, greed, religion, land expansion.

Buried under greed, desire, hate, selfishness. But it is there.

because instead of trying to understand each other, we disagree
