We do use hate interchangeably with dislike. I've been reminding myself not to use hate, lest it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Really, I don't hate anything or anyone :) Gwen Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132836346305559246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819522694945786724.post-1429426477481344252013-04-09T11:21:49.804-07:002013-04-09T11:21:49.804-07:00Thanks Susan - The quote from C.S.

The word i...Thanks for this amazing post Barbara. <br /><br />The word is used indiscriminately I agree. Pre-judice means exactly as the word is - a prejudging which implies that the one does not know the other yet 'judges' negatively. Ignorance and arrogance in the extreme.<br /><br />Eli Wiesel is one of my heroes ... indifference, apathy ... <br /><br />Hate's companion (that hard, diamond, sapphire like hate) is a strong negative feeling towards another, or towards one's self. Self-hate as in e.g. self-mutilation is a very real psychological 'condition'. Hate towards another may be a feeling that is easier to put upon another rather than face up to it in one's self? A projection?<br /><br />I guess if one can really ask one's self what the source of those hateful feelings are, it would open up the field, to discern what is actually going on.<br /><br />Shakespeare, in Antony & Cleopatra: 'In time we hate that which we often fear'.<br /><br />Buddha said to meet hatred with non-hatred is essential. There is no point in using hatred back to overcome it. Words to that effect.<br /><br />And to end: Coretta Scott King: "Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hater'.<br /><br />A very tricky subject indeed. Thank you.<br /><br />Susan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041548718544123557noreply@blogger.com
