Hate is a word thrown around so carelessly, do you think it should?

Disliking someone or something so much that you would wish harm on them and revel in their misery

I need to really dislike something very much to say I hate it

But it needs to create on me a bad feeling, not just like "I don't like *insert a food* and it's disgusting and will never like it at all"

Uhhhhh hate is something that you really dislike.

I, personally, think that hate is when you wish someone dead. It's not simply not liking something very much. Hate is a new kind of contempt. I don't believe that we always mean what we say when we say hate someone. In fact, I believe that there has to be a lot of things to line up when you say you do for you to mean it. This is why I think people should stop using it casually, because it's not healthy and probably not entirely true. I'm not saying that it's not always true, I don't know a person's heart, but it very well can be

Hmm yea. Usually I don’t say that I hate people, sometimes I will say it about something if I’m like frustrated with it or something.

Yeah, I do that too sometimes, I just think that people are becoming desensitized to the word because of it

Yeah... that is something to think about

Hate to me? A form of corruption of the soul to change to the color black, it can change the most goodest of people to villains. But that's hate to me, I won't mention other stuff and how it effects me.

Hate is when you see someone being tortured, and would turn a blind eye.
Hate is having the ability to help someone, but not. Hate is the worst thing, because it can cloud your judgement. It can take over you completely.

teodor

It’s when you despise something or someone so much to the point that you want them gone.

it's when you can't stand something SO MUCH it bothers you, i guess
and aka a word im not allowed to say. so yeah

Hate is the tunnel, love is the light

Hate is something you wish harm to. Worse than hate is indifference.

I think hate is whole new level of disliking some thing or someone, I think its bad. Its a true wish of death upon someone. Not liking someone is so far from the true definition of hate. I must admit I do have a few people who I really do hate, but I personally don't believe its a crime. This is a natural feeling for a human being. We all have to learn to forgive and forget, and I know it's a cliche saying but it's true. If you hold on to your anger, your malice will build inside you. I've done this before, and even the aftermath left me with depression. So please although it's the worst thing you can do or say, don't throw it around, it's not funny and it's not a joke.

Oh yeah, I agree completely

ty and to be fair it does slip out sometimes

Yeah, and it does. But that's because people have become so desensitized to it. It's sad

good vocabulary you can say its prodigious.
and yes its really sad.

Thank you:)

np lol

and i meant to say not the worst thing to do or say

True

hate
/hāt/
denoting hostile actions motivated by intense dislike or prejudice.
modifier noun: hate
"a hate campaign"

Hatred in general is evil: because most people are good, and it is wrong to assume the worst about them unless given a very good reason to do so.

However, it *is* proper to hate things like Hitler, slavery, racism, etc. In other words, it is proper to hate people and ideas that harm, dehumanize, and ultimately kill other human beings.

What gets complicated, however, is considering the origins of such hate. Given that most people are fundamentally good and not primarily motivated by hate, what made those same people misguidedly believe in horrible things like Hitler, slavery, etc.?

I think: Out of a misplaced sense of love.

Love for a national leader. Love for one's own race. Love for tradition. Love for material wealth.

A little bit of love for each of those things is not necessarily bad. The problems arise when they are carried to an extreme.

When we allow our leaders to amass so much power that they turn into Hitler. When we love our race so much that we forget that those of other races are human beings, too. When our love for tradition becomes a stubborn unwillingness to break the mold, because "that's just how we've always done things." When our love for material wealth tramples our concern for other human beings.

There is no easy answer here, except the application of rationality and common-sense to figure out what is proper to hate and what is proper to love, and how much to love and how much to hate those things.
