Hatred doesn't have any power. It is only a poison for the person who hates. It may seem real at the time but it is just another unreal feeling that people get caught up with in the middle of dramas.
Hatred is not the opposite of love, nor should be compared as such.
Love is a word to describe an energy beyond feeling. All religions, all athiests, all people can and do experience it. It is what some call "God" and others try to isolate into "romantic love" for another but it is bigger than any of those things.
If looked at from a chemical aspect, there is a theory that the chemical which is released in the brain when someone is "in love" is the same chemical present during the big bang and the start of the accelerating universe.
Hatred can be conquered quite easily but even those who relish in supposed "lack of love" are protected by the energy which looks after each and every one of us.
It is a BIG topic and not to be taken lightly.
If you want to feel the difference. Try meditation. Find a group, work on emptying your mind earnestly. Eventually, when you have gotten used to having an empty mind, you will understand what love is and how all encompassing it is. It will probably hit you like a ton of bricks and you will want to tell the world. After that, you will feel humility for being arrogant and for any harm or ill feelings you may have for others. Next, you will see that clarity follows and that you will understand things and become wiser than you ever have been.
Then you will understand that hatred cannot be compared to love. They are 2 completely different things and have nothing to do with the other.
One can very simply walk away from those who hate. One cannot get away from love nor does one need to. Even those depressed are loved but just don't see it.

No - just easier. People have a much easier time to hate someone because there is no commitment to that. Love is a commitment to at least modify your actions if not more. Hatred is easy. Plus the world today pushes hatred more than love. Just read the newspapers.

hatred can make you a bitter and horrible person,it is stronger than love(seriously)if you let the hatred carry on and dont get the anger problems out of your system it will eat you away inside,you will not get close enought to a person and will not beable to love somebody unless there is no hatred inside of you,it will take over your life and end up very alone,so really the answer is yes hatred is alot more powerful than love

I think love is more powerful as it can help you but it's more easily rocked that hatred. I also think love is a stronger emotion, I've never hated someone so much that just thinking about it has made me stop and cry from being overwhelmed by the feeling

Love and hatred are separated by freewill.
Love is self-consuming, as well as consuming. It burns from beneath, to the very core. Love can erode hatred and is powerful.
But hatred, being the other side of the same coin,can do damage. To oneself. To others. Consider, a person, very full of love. Now imagine, something happens to change the person and the whole love is converted into hatred. It is destructive and can block any other emotion, even love, from entering there. Hatred works as a poison. Hard to kill. Self-destructive. Easy to come by. Easy to get. Easy to begin ...It is quick. However, love, being self-consuming, can do miracles. It redefines itself to define others, and thus, it is powerful enough to contain hatred and finally transform it.
Perhaps you are familiar with the phrases, "Loving to hate" and "Hating to love." .... Ain't English grand?

No. Historically it produces more noticeable results, but that's because the results of hatred are quicker to make themselves apparent than the results of love. Love takes longer to grow and make a difference, but it can do much greater things than hatred even if it does fly under the world's radar. Love is every day- your family, friends, random acts of kindness, etc. Hate makes headlines, but love is more real.

Hatred is a destructive state of mind, whereas love is a constructive force; hatred can seat deeply in the mind and can stay dormant until it finds its moment of expression, whereas love is also enduring in the mind but it constantly expresses itself in all forms and functions possible in the mind; hatred can be very powerful, even more powerful than love at times, but love is constant, consistent and steadily powerful; hatred like fire in the end, destroys itself, the object it hates alongside the mind that harbours it, whereas, love is lasting, sacrificial; love lives on in the ones who love and in the one who are loved; where hatred utilises all subsidiary emotions in the mind for its self-destruct purpose, love converges all emotions in the mind into one being with one object of love in view lasting.

Hatred pales in comparison with the power of love.

Sad to say I think it is.People who have an overpowering hatred for another human have probably at some time in their bitter lives, loved someone ,but their obsessive hatred has overtaken their capacity to love.We who know how to love and be loved probably should feel sorry for them.but that is asking too much.
