some hate to love, yet, love to hate? Be it for differences in race, religion, gender biases, etc. What is derived from it? What is served by it? What are your opinions? Please no thumbs down or violations.

It may be related to self-esteem for some people. When you can't be comfortable with yourself and accept yourself for what you are then it is difficult to be able to do that with those around you.

The second answerer is correct, it is Grave of the Fireflies. I just watched it last week, it is very sad. :'[ "September 21, 1945... that was the night I died." That's the first line said by Seita (the brother). The very first part is Seita watching himself as a ghost. People walking past him, some complain about his vagrancy. A lady lays down food next to him and then the camera pans over the condition of his body. He imagines Setsuko crying out "Mama!" Seita says: "What day is it? (then) Setsuko..." A cleaning crew come and check over the bodies to determine whether they're dead. A man pokes Seita gently with a broom and he says: "Another one".

Heyya Semper Fi,
I have such a problem dealing with this. My brother-in-law is a bigot but can't see it to save his life! He doesn't see what he says as hatred or bigotry. I know if I challenged him on it (which I have in a sort of non-threatening way) his response would be "that's just the way it is."
Where does it come from? I know that he grew up with it. Its almost as if he would have to break down his world-view and re-build it. I doubt that will happen, unless something big happens to open his eyes.
What does HE derive from it? I'm not sure. Perhaps he thinks he's being defensive of his home and family. But that is such a sadly warped view... I hold my tongue at family gatherings just to hold the peace. I think he knows enough now to not bring up comments like that.
best to you
peace respect regards

There is no purpose to be served for anyone, even the ones who do the hating. It is a loss of time and effort. And have no doubt, it does take effort and energy to hate. There are those in this world that are just sooo unhappy with there own lives, that they want everyone else around them to be unhappy too. May God have mercy on us all.

Sometimes it's learned behavior--in my own case, when I was a child I parroted the hate-speech I heard from the adults around me but as I grew up & came into contact with people outside my own race I learned better. For the most part I believe that people are just people with the same types of behavior & beliefs & goals. Just because we don't all look the same doesn't mean we are that different from each other.

Most of the time the outward appearances reflex the turmoil that is going on inside of us. We should never hate anyone because Jesus Christ died for all. We may not like what a person is doing, or we may not like their attitude,or even their ways. But we should always love without discrimination. I never knew what true love was until I met Jesus Christ. He is what this cruel sinful world needs.He is the only real hope we have.

I agree with you on this one... ( don't faint... lol)
But, it makes me think about the concept of hating the hate. Personally, I cannot condone hatred and abuse that are perpetrated in the name of religion (any religion).
I think religion was originally meant to be a comfort and a help to people, not as a means to control, intimidate and even kill. So what does one do when they "hate the hate"? It's a bit of a conundrum...

I love to love and I miss doing it as often as when I was young. I don't even somewhat like to hate, but I'm not afraid of returning it to those who set themselves up as my enemy out of religious ferver or misguided loyalty to the present administration.

Do you remember the TV show, welcome back Carter?
to many time people are so afraid of showing their true feelings, that they substitute insults instead.
is it really unmanly to say I Love you?
I think that when you become comfortable whit who you are, and are willing to admit that you do have feelings, that is when the real man shows through.
with others they are afraid to be hurt again, they have been hurt so many times, that they build a wall, and what seems like hate, is really a call for help.
they are saying I don't care what you think of me, and what they really mean is I refuse to let you close enough to me to hurt me again.

Yes Brother Semper, it is very sad.
I never understood how another human being
could be so cruel and cold hearted. I was raised
to treat everyone with respect, not just a few.
I Love You Brother. 1for HIM.
HE IS RISEN.
