Why hate=fear?

Question

People say hate comes from fear. Why?

Answer 1

Fear is far more primal than hate. Fear is a survival emotion. We label lots of things as 'hate', such as fear, anger, embarassment, rejection. Hate is much more arbtrary and means different things to different people.

Fear, however means the same thing to all species.

Answer 2

My Friend,

Its Fear = Hate and not the otherway, like you said people say hate comes from fear.
Its where i am supposed to say....i always say right questions get you the right answers and vice versa.
Fear arises out of insecurity to oneself or there desires or there loved beings. Fear is an emotion with colour black attached to it. It usually appears in mind when the mind cant see the light/path through a situation and hence black. The moment a mind percieves that it lacks control of a situation it starts to fear it....and the taste is bitter....and too much of bitterness is what we call hate. Hate is like a black hole...selfish and sucking everything inside...an insatiable hunger for control which was always there but never realised. If you see the meaning, may you see the light.

Answer 3

They're wrong.. I hate the taste of grapefruit but I don't fear the taste! I hate the taste of Buckleys
Cough mixture but it works! I don't fear it!
However in some instances some fear the unknown and are afraid of diversifying in business
or are afraid of strangers. So Sometimes hate can boil down to fear but it doesn't come from fear. Hate comes from a lack of knowing! from a lack of understanding from a lack of tolerance!

Answer 4

People say that fear creates hate, mostly because the fact that most people don't want to encounter thier fear or because fear puts them in a predicament where they feel threatened, and insecure. Usually people don't like that feeling, so they originally blame the fear itself, instead of trying to fix it. Fear makes people feel unstable, weakened, and not as stong as they were before a fear arose. So when someone realizes that they fear somthing, thier feelings rise from fear to hate automatically because they way they feel when they encounter the fear itself. Fear = Hate only because the person is scared enough to fear the 'thing', therefore it leads to stronger feelings and rage towards it becasue they way their emotions and self esteem changes. Their outlook of themselves alters becasue they know within them that that one thing makes them feel weak and insecure with themselves and the enviroment around them. It's mostly a matter of feeling same, but all in all, it's the though of mind over matter, the fear doesn't really hurt you, just plays with your emotions.
Hate also makes someone sound more sure of themselves becasue it is such a strong word. If someone says that they fear something, you think a little less of them becasue now you know a weakness of them and people don't like the feeling of letting others they love or care for down.

Answer 5

We often hate what we fear and fear comes from a lack of understanding.

Answer 6

Fear is insecurity; not knowing how wonderful you really are. From that insecurity I would think a person or persons would lash out at others they do not understand. Their insecurity is falsely lifted by putting others down. Once you know who you are, why you were given life, then that fear becomes love. Out of love you can give. Out of fear and insecurity you take. Thats my 2 cents.

Answer 7

Hate does not equal fear all the time.
If I was to hate someone it would be because that person aggravates my lifestyle in some way. Interrupts it. It doesn't mean that I fear them. So it's more like "dread" for me! lol

Answer 8

Fear and Hate revolve about their common center of mass; Ignorance. It's a 'horrible' binary system!

Good luck!

Answer 9

We hate what we fear because we're afraid we may have to get involved with what we fear.An example would be the racism in today's world.

Answer 10

Maybe it is fear of the unknown? Instead of facing that fear they would rather hate it...maybe, I'm not sure.
