Why do people hate?

[bebejhen]

This is a wellknown story:

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all"

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed".

But why do we so easily succumb to feed the evil wolf? Why do we hate and feed it and react hatefull towards others?

This is a very nice story. All that has been said here are true. I think we feed them both, the good wolf and the evil one. We all have those characteristic inside ourselves, it's just depend on us when we will gonna show it. I think the evil wolf is not our real enemy. Our real enemy here is no other than our own self because we are the owner and we are the one who will decide who will gonna win.

It's the sin man! Even if you take the religious sense of sin away but simply look at it as a bad thing to envy your neighbor. I think this generates hate, manifest itself in sick and eveil twisted ways depending on your sin of choice. We all have em too, just gotta fight em each day and win that fight

[avonmorgan]

It's included in our human-pack. It's natural, but some ppl abuse of hate.

Hating others makes people feel better about themselves.

[Drewmendoza]

Because most of us are not they same attitude, They have silent person and angry person and others attitude of the person. When it comes to they are not  same way they are hating each other. Just like when you are a baby all you want to do is to play but your mother is she want is to sleep you but you not want to sleep so thats why you hate your mother and also your mother hate you because you not to sleep.

Basically you are correct.  We hate someone whom we do not like because we have different attitude.  That what always the cause of our hatred to that person of that person is being rude, boastful, nasty, or argumentative.  Worst thing why would we hate was because we are jealous to one person.  We are envious about one person or we are selfish enough that we do not want other person to become successful.

theres a lot of reason why people are hating... I think because of their atittude the way they communicate to other. We have different atittude and want in our life. Because the way they are and the other people dont want them.. The way they socialize to other..

We feed the wolf of hate unintentionally, energy is contagious. What give off is what we get and vise versa. The reason people feed this wolf is because if their energy takes a shift due to someone else's energy not being in control, they do not have control over it because it is not their energy. we have to be careful who's energy we take on; most of us are walking around with each other's energies.

People is making it too hard for us to be good. It doesnt matter which one you fed, in case you fed the good one other people will still push you through your limit and will still feel hatred , anger and etc. because we are humans.

[helars2008]

It is just normal for a person to hate someone, as normal as when we are loving someone...
Hating is totally not weong at all.. for me it will only be wrong if we succumb to it...
We must learn how to overcome these attitude..
Learn to forgive, and maybe someday you will then forget the reason why you hated someone...

Hatred, as well as love, and also other feelings, is given to the man from birth. not everybody will be able to muffle in itself sense of hatred of other, for example more successful man.

It can be an act of self-defense but from inside. This is how we reply to a rejection

Hatred can be a form of self-defense, if someone is living in a hostile environment and is afraid of his neighbors. For example, I have been to remote villages where the crime rates are sky high. The people are in general hostile to strangers. They are suspicious of the outsiders, as they can't trust them.

You can waste your time and energy hating others if you want.

I'm too busy with my own life to hate anyone really.

Haters gonna hate.

You are so right.

Healthiest thing is to let it go and move on.

Right. Sometimes you hate because of mistakes which you cannot take. Forget, forgive and move forward.

Hating could be from envy. When people don't seem to achieve like the other man, they may resort to hating. It also could be as a result of attitudinal dislike for someone .

[helars2008]

Hating is inherent to human nature..
So it is only normal for people to hate...
And i see no problem about that..
As long as you know how to cope up with it....

[botija]

People hate because they are insecure, while at the same time lacking compassion. The ability of being able to put themselves in the shoes of others. Realizing that the pain they feel hurts just as much as the pain the other person feels. That's why I don't even get excited if I made money in a pump and dump, because I feel the pain of those who possibly lost.

Jealousy is one of the reasons why people hate each other. Usually, it is the losers who hate others. Someone who is having everything he wants in his life has absolutely no reason to hate others.

I think that is hated only by wicked people. Reason of it to find it is difficult, probably they had what - that problems in childhood. It is sincerely sorry me such people, they are very unhappy.

Childhood upbringing can have a major effect. I am not denying that. But there are other factors as well, such as the level of education, past experiences with different people, intelligence level, interaction with different people.etc.

This is the first time i've encountered that story and its a very good one that can pretty much sums up how we should be with others and wih our emotions. Its normal for us to hate but how we act on that hate is what would differentiate better people from weak people.

When you stop to hate you can start to love people. Hate will only destroy you and the one you hate.
