Is it easier to kill than it is to love?

Question

What do you think of this idea? Does it seem to be the way of the world?

Answer 1

For most people, yes. But we weren't born that way. As little children, love came naturally to us. We lived in love; it is who we are. Little by little our souls were killed by the people around us who did not live in love and finally we surrendered to the darkness ourselves. At that point, being more dead than alive, it began to be easy for us to kill. Not necessarily to kill as in to suddenly end another's physical life on Earth, but to kill as we were killed.

We can stop living this kind of living death. It is possible to recover the parts of one's self that one has lost.

Love is within us and is everywhere. It is our nature. If we are open to it, then it is easy for us to love. If we are closed to it, resisting it, we can only kill love.

Answer 2

i think it's definatly eaiser to love than to kill, because if you love and have lost you can love again but if you love than kill you can never really be right in the head ever again you would be haunted by guilt. the idea of killing someone is just a waste you lose your life and mind in the process. it may sometimes seem the way of the world because thats all you hear on the news but their are really more good people in the world then they are evil. i atleast like to hope so.

Answer 3

I think it might be easier to hate than it is to love cause hatred merely requires closing one's mind and disliking.

killing requires effort and planning. if you use a knife or your hands to strangle somenone this requires quite a bit of physical exertion and the ability to overpower or get the physical advantage over another. the use of a gun requires some skill and if using a high caliber bullet or a revolver a significant amount of hand and wrist strength.

and if you get caught and must serve time in prison, then this consequence is definately worse than heart break and not easier than love

then there is the post killing depression people feel, which can be exhausting.

I highly doubt killing is easier than love, but it might be as difficult as love.

Answer 4

I imagine that it would be easier to kill than it would be to love – through hate, you are avoiding a loss. I imagine that it is the way of the world, and always has been. Definitely not a modern idea.

Answer 5

So true! When you really think of it, it requires great restrain and fortitude to resist engaging in Evil such as murder, an "easy" cop-out within our reality. Goodness and righteous is taught and inculted into the individual which builds character and a strong foundation to resist the "way of the world", being Man's natural tendency towards Evil. Hence, the notion that "Man is basically good" is a false concept.

Answer 6

Possibly. It's easier for me to love though. I could NEVER kill any one or any animal. I love and value life way too much. In front of my office they are widening the street and the bulldozers are just ripping up the trees! If I had known, I might talk the city into letting people dig up and take the trees home to plant, but they are just killing them! It broke my heart. The trees are not very old and had a lot of life left to give.

Answer 7

I would have to say yes that it is easier to kill than to love. Cane killed Able rahter than offer up a proper saccrifice.
Love is a hard thing for some people it take more effort to love tan it does to hate.

Answer 8

In every aspect and way imaginable it is easier for human beings to kill than to love. Love takes work and the easy and quickest solution to problems is to kill it/them.

Answer 9

It's easiest to do what you know to have the greatest gain with the least effort. Killing can take little effort for those that don't value their own life. Killing is hard for people who highly value their own life, unless it is in self defense of course.
Loving is hard for those that don't love their life, it's no work at all for those that do.

Answer 10

Yes. Love is both the best and hardest thing to create and endure. Killing is easy, all it takes is a little lapse in judgment and of course selfishness. Two things we do all day long. Whereas Love is a rare but possible treasure.
