I carry all my hate in my liver.
I agree with the quote but I haven't quite reached that level of self-discipline yet. My goal is to go from hate ---> to disgust----> to disappointment -----> to mere amusement.
How I hate:
"Hate: How do have hate in your heart? What do you hate? Hate many times is caused by Fear, Ignorance and Pain:"
“Do not hate. It is based on ignorance and fear. Rather seek to learn and understand that which you do not understand. Grow. Do not shrink in hatred. Transcend your fears and broaden your horizons. You thus see reality more clearly, fully and more beautifully. Or else stay in your prison self-imposed by your hate, shallow, forlorn and bereft of hope. It is a choice. Choose freedom-not hateful ignorance. That is what hate is, ignorance and pain, both of the worst kind.â€
That episode was so deep, the toxic emotions of both characters totally made those characters, if it makes sense, also I've wondered whether or not the characters which have gone on to appear in future episodes are the toxic ones or not, was it possible that there were any switch-a-roos played on the viewers?
I hate people who are too emotional. It annoys me. The problem is that when two persons have been through the same pain, they both enormously suffer. But the one who can’t control his emotions will receive all the attention and the one who can is ignored. To them I want to say: Billions of people can handle their emotions, why can’t you?
Why should they ? We are all so different.
Don't you think "hating people being too emotional" is a kind of judgement ? Why don't you ask yourself why it disturbs you that much ?
It is people nature to be overemotional sometimes. Maybe you don't listen to your deep down emotions.... But some people do need it...to feel in peace with themselves. At least for a while...

To answer the OP I'll just content myself saying "Love and Hate live at the same place"...

Lark said:Maybe substituting one sort of emotional reaction for another can have some good but I'm not quite sure why the ones you mention are better than hatred.
Hatred is a stronger motivating force than amusement. People who hate (jihadists and leftists like Antifa) are much more apt to commit evil.
Yes, it is a judgement. Of course, screaming out of joy or crying at the death of someone is normal. But what about the others? Those who makes irrational decisions due to their emotions? Can you like someone who beats his child because he passed in front of the Tv? Or those who hate you because all you did was the best thing in a logical aspect, but not for their feelings? Can you relate to someone who is ready to start a fight because you looked at their girlfriends? I can’t. and I never will. Those who start to cry at the first critic you say, those who get angry when you contradict them. Just think about what the world would look like if Putin, Kim Jong Un or any other mighty leader was like this.
To best explain what I mean, I will take a fictional example. In the series Hunter x Hunter, the protagonist was ready to kill an antagonist. This seems normal. But, due to his rage, the protagonist wanted to do it while the antagonist was saving an innocent girl, thus sacrificing her.
In a popular show, two people were constantly losing. The one could contain his emotion, the other not. Whenever the first one lost, they made jokes about it. But when the second one lost, they were all sorry for him. After the show the first one confessed that the jokes made him feel even worse. This is a problem that is very common. And it’s unfair.
I do think that's an interesting aphorism.
There was a comic routine I saw once in which a guy is at a group therapy session, which itself hasnt been organised well and lacks a certain depth and sincerity but its sending up the idea so, anyway, he just outright says he thinks its nonsense, love and hate are not similar and he loves his wife and hates some football team. For a time I thought that was totally appropriate and didnt see the point of thinking otherwise.
Although, over time and reading a lot about attachment theory I've grown to understand how love or hate can involve an attachment. I know that people would be pretty shocked by the suggestion that the things they really hate are in some way things they can not do without. I've only read one book which was any good at explaining or seeking to understand how and why some people make or need enemies as much as they do friends and, of course, theatres of conflict like NI were cited as examples.
The only caveat that I'd add would be that sometimes I think that relates to a certain "hot" kind of hatred, I have actually known people who were excited to meet their enemies, who relished it and if they thought that enemy felt the same way they couldnt have been more pleased. Made for some real drama and I definitely thought it was weird, abnormal, stuff. Something a bit more than the average failing to distinguish between the right and wrong sort of attention involved there.
I prefer a different "cold" sort of hatred, for the few people I do hate. I dont give them any thought but word of their misfortune or a write up in the obituary column. It would not cause me dismay. Likewise, any good, no matter how indirect, I could do them or anyone remotely associated with them, they can forget about it.

I have been in and around a lot of deep ecology, BLM and radfem circles (strong overlap with these circles; I know, big shocker there lol). However, I cannot bring myself to hate frackers, cops, or men, respectively. I find hate to be an illogical emotion, and choose to educate rather than spew hate... Someone's mind is rarely changed by hating them.
