The word hate

Well here is something I posted on facebook a while ago.

here it is.

I NEVER use the word hate in a serious manner. Hate is an absolute and as I will state later absolutes are the most dangerous thing facing humanity as a whole. To hate something means to do your best to destroy it with every fiber of your being, to hate something would mean that you derive the most pleasure possible from destroying the object of your hate.
That’s what hate is, don’t deny it. You may think “well I say I hate ______ all the time, but I don’t REALLY hate _______” If that is the case then don’t say you hate it, say you dislike it or something. It may not get the point across as well in conversation but that is because everyone thinks in extremes now. But at least you have honesty over emphasis on a point.
I myself don’t like everything, no human that I know of can. But I hate nothing. I may dislike things, but not hate them. I have been blessed in my life in two ways. One is I have never been in such a situation in my life to cause me to hate something. Two is I tend to find something I like about almost everything, and you can too. Really! Its easy, just start by noticing what makes you attracted to the things you like. When you can do that, start noticing pleasant things about objects you have no association with, like a random tree, or a person in the hall. When you can do that start looking at the good side of things you dislike. It works. Trick is, it only works if you let it. Imagine what a world we would have if more people thought this way!

I hate that people don’t think positively more often.

Hippy crap, I know.
