Hate is a strong word. I'll replace it with someone who is repellent or offensive to me. If someone like that died, I'd feel bad for not liking them and if I knew them better than most I'd probably try to make an appearance at their services. I'm not saying I'd miss this person (oh gosh, that sounds awful), but I'd still wonder why they were taken away and hope his or her family won't take it too hard.

Poor grammar much?
I think what you're trying to say is that someone you hate died and you want to know how others would react?
Well...why the hell should you feel sorry for someone and stop hating them just because they died? Thats stupid. It just shows that you never hated them in the first place, and it shows you're a weak person. Everyone dies, so who cares if it was someone you hate? Don't let that get in the way of your anger.
lol.

Hate is such a harsh word. But to me, if someone does something to your loved ones it is hard not to hate. I went through something years ago, and if that person that caused our family grief, died..I would have to send his wife congrats letter. I am sorry for my feelings, but this person tried to get my daugther taken away from me, when I truly did not do anything wrong and it broke up my marriage, and ruined my girls lives. And this person was a DSS worker of all people.
I could care less if that person died and rotted along side the road. I would love to watch the vultures eat at him. I love God, and my fellow man sincerely. I would help anyone that needs it, and set my needs apart to help them. But this man truly ruined all of ours lives and he has not remorse whatsoever. That is my theory.

I don't hate anyone really, but if I did, I'd be indifferent. No more pain for them. They get the ultimate neutrality that is non-existence.
I suppose I might grieve for those who loved this person (assuming someone did). In fact, I only ever grieve for those left behind because once you are dead, doesn't matter much.
I'm not afraid of death in itself, just afraid of thinking I might die, because I'm hardwired to want to stay alive. Oh, and pain. Pain sucks.

It wouldn't bother me, even if it was somebody I loved. I know that death is only a transition, so everyone comes back to life again. How I react is my problem, so I would then deal with that. The person who left could care less.

I would probably realize this is the nature of humans. We live, we eat, we sleep, we poop, we die, and then I'd question why I hated them so much, as they were human beings just like me. I'd drop any unwholesome feelings towards that person (though, I'd probably regret not doing so before they died), and hope that they live a better life in their next life. :)

When you "hate" you are just projecting something within yourself that you are uncomfortable with and thus hide from yourself and the other person projects it. So, it is not the other person you are hating, but a hidden part of yourself that you judge. When someone dies they are free so my reaction to anyone's death is that they are blessed to be free of the confines of this world.

Well, thinking of the people in my life I think I actually hate, I don't really know for sure how I would feel. First of all, there's only one or two people I really loathe. I guess if they died, I would be shocked, but then not really care.

If it was someone I knew in the past and heard he/she died, I would just be secretly pleased.
If it was someone I worked with or interacted with on a daily basis, I would still probably be secretly glad, but not say a word about it. I would likely go to the service and say kind things to the family/relatives. There is no reason to hurt those people.

Wow that's a tuff one.........I think if your feeling guilty don't its a waste of time. Just in your thoughts send them the best on their life's journey and Let it go.....a closure so to speak.....for what ever reason you didn't like them ....they were here to teach you a lesson and visa versa, You might want to focus on what issue this person brought up for you? Take a look at the issue and is it resolved? Don't be hard on yourself.
